So far no country has let it ‘run free’ to see what happens and how fast it spirals out of control. I hope it stays that way and hope governments around the world are able to contain the spread.
As the virus progresses to less prepared countries we’ll probably unfortunately see what happens if not properly contained.
I believe it should also be a push to the scientific community to focus on research for vaccines for novel corona virus such as this one and not stop/slow down research for a solution when the threat subsides.

By the way,
- I lost a lot of money over the past few weeks in the stock markets and
- had to cancel a scheduled family cruise from Venice for next month.
- I don’t wear face masks as they don’t protect you they only protect others when you cough, which I don’t.
- my company doesn’t allow me to travel anywhere anymore and
- My kids’ school is shut down because one of the parents has had contact with a COVID-19 patient
I can’t wait for it to be over and for everything to go back to normal.
At the same time I don’t want to be responsible for potentially passing a deadly virus for which no symptoms for 14 days and no vaccine available, to my sick mother-in law or my kids.
So here we are...
