Stop the time

March 31, 2020

During these strange times of global panic, you will see a range of reactions, from over-reaction to under-reaction, from denial to hyper-paranoia. My advice is: the government should put a timely lockdown all over the country before it is too late. As the Chinese said we have to "stop the time”.

Scientists around the globe are working round the clock to create effective vaccines. Most probably, we can survive the coronavirus but the upcoming climate change will be game over for our species. It is a potent reminder that every war cannot be defeated with long ranged-missiles or atomic bombs. When all this finally recedes, and it will, science and common sense concerning healthcare should not be sidelined once again.
