Covid-19
In 1918, the Spanish flu spread like crazy and a lot of people died. In Philadelphia, there was a huge parade scheduled, and the Mayor refused to cancel the parade in spite of the warnings. The parade went on, and about a week later 13,000 people died from the Spanish flu.

DAY 1 AND 2: COVID-19 BY MY LONESOME
DAY 1 It’s only the first day of working from home, hunkering down, and I’m already worried about my mental health! I will admit it was nice to have that extra sleep time due to not having to drive to work or even shower! Knowing I might get too sucked into living life in a fluffy robe, I did make it a point to at least throw on some camo sweats with a mismatched fleece pullover. I didn’t even care if they made me look fat! I was excited to test out my new home office, aka my dining room table complete with two monitors, a docking station, and keyboard, and have the luxury of being around my creature comforts.

My Experience in Italy and France Before COVID-19
Before I get started I just wanted to let anyone know that if you’re in need of supplies, a lot of people have been volunteering to help. A lot of individuals have been sacrificing their time to deliver food and necessities through your door. Check if any local stores are offering help, and if you need it don’t hesitate to ask.

We Need to Focus on the Worried Well to Stop Coronavirus
Fever. Chills. Body Aches. Runny nose. Cough. The classic symptoms of a viral illness. They are also symptoms of Coronavirus. When we get sick, our gut instinct is to run to the doctor and seek medical attention. For the majority of those with viral symptoms, this is the wrong thing to do. As the US marches toward hospital surge capacity, we must focus attention on the worried well patient.

An Open Letter to America's People:
One of the things that I love about science is how nurturing it is. It never judges. It allows for the complete inclusion of all interested parties as well as their ideas, whether good or bad. It even has space for these ideas to be fostered and explored by coming to life in the form of experimentation and hypotheses. When I think about science as it exists in our world, I can't help but feel the overwhelming maternal presence surrounding it. The essence of its being, its soul if you will, Mother Nature herself, and the wisdom she imparts to humans done so through the language of science.

Italy Is Red Zone: Draconic Measures to fight the Covid-19
The first new episode of Montalbano was finally starting yesterday evening. Most of us, in Italy, were ready to watch after dinner our most famous fictional detective in Sicilian Vigata in pursuit of the murderer. The usual commercial break ended, but the news started instead, on our great surprise. The Extraordinary Edition of the news opened on our popular journalist Francesco Giorgino, from the channel RAI1, who in a controlled, yet, excited tone informed his audience that our Premier Giuseppe Conte was on the verge of giving a speech to the entire nation.
