On we go.<\/p>\n

I have decided to make this a series of Facebook posts that are related to my lockdown time in Laxmanjhula.<\/p>\n

As you all know,\u00a0 this is al related to the appearance of a new virus, the Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). This virus causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a respiratory illness.
\nAnd especially with the effects on our way of living due to measurements taken by governments all around the world.
\nThe goal of all those measurements is to slow down the spreading of this still rather unknown virus, in order to keep the health systems operational.<\/p>\n

The reactions to all of this are stunningly divers.
\nFor now I just focus on making a report of what I reported on this subject, to begin with on March 3 2020.
\nI choose this date, because at that day I posted a interview with my favourite news analyst in the USA, Rachel Maddow.
\nThis is just over 7 weeks ago now. She shares what she knows at that moment about the virus and how to deal with it. Notice that even as short ago as seven and a half weeks she is still shaking hands with her interviewer.<\/p>\n
