The coronavirus pandemic has shattered our world with increased morbidity, mortality, and personal/social sufferings. At the time of this writing, we are in a biomedical race for protective equipment, viral testing, and vaccine creation in an effort to respond to COVID threats. But what is the role of health humanities in these viral times? This article works though interdisciplinary connections between health humanities, the planetary health movement, and environmental humanities to conceptualize the emergence of “planetary health humanities.” The goal of this affinity linkage is to re-story health humanities toward promotion of planetary health and community well-being. Wellbeing is critical because the main driver of environmental destruction and decreasing planetary health is coming from non-sustainable definitions of wellbeing. We need the arts and humanities to help reimagine the possibility of a sustainable community wellbeing. For health humanities, a basic role and narrative identity starts to emerge—we should become a planetary health (and well-being) humanities.

行星健康人文科学——应对 COVID 时代

冠状病毒大流行以增加的发病率、死亡率和个人/社会痛苦破坏了我们的世界。在撰写本文时，我们正处于生物医学竞赛中，需要保护设备、病毒测试和疫苗生产，以应对 COVID 威胁。但是，在这些病毒时代，健康人文学科的作用是什么？本文通过健康人文学科、行星健康运动和环境人文学科之间的跨学科联系来概念化“行星健康人文学科”的出现。这种亲和力联系的目标是重新讲述健康人文科学，以促进地球健康和社区福祉。福祉至关重要，因为环境破坏和地球健康下降的主要驱动力来自对福祉的不可持续定义。我们需要艺术和人文学科来帮助重新构想可持续社区福祉的可能性。对于健康人文学科，一个基本的角色和叙事身份开始出现——我们应该成为一个地球健康（和福祉）人文学科。
