Musings on Coronavirus
One thing I find interesting about living through the Corona virus pandemic, and subsequent self-quarantine, is the way in which we find ways to communicate otherwise. With our modern technology we do a brilliant job of just getting on with most of our lives from sitting at home. Admittedly, I already miss going outside and meeting up with my friends in our flesh sacks, but the virtual alternative of group Skype calls isn’t something to sniff at.

The Global Impact Of Coronavirus
The global impact of Coronavirus is just so horrifying and absolutely unbelievable. But believe it one must, what with all the horrible things that are happening all over the world – and all because of this killer virus! Who would believe that a thing unseen, can now threaten to obliterate the entire world – down to the very last few thousand or hundred people perhaps? Time only will tell, as to how many of the mighty human race, will survive the killer Coronavirus!

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.
