Dear Colleagues,

As you probably already know by now, earlier this week WHO announced that one of the great disco era anthems is being refashioned as a “clarion call” for the COVID-19 pandemic, “We Are Family”. Should be fun at the upcoming World Health Assembly, with Kim Sledge et al.  Yes, I know, most of the times, mankind rather looks like a dysfunctional family, but it’s a nice gesture and campaign nevertheless. And still way catchier than the Disney-Like Parody Video,   ‘Wear A Mask’.  Bet dr. Tedros is a better dancer than  The Donald too !   ( but granted, that’s a bit like taking ‘Ground Zero’ as a benchmark )

We all can use a bit of diversion these days, certainly in the Northern Hemisphere, where “pandemic fatigue”  is palpable and the prospect of a second (or even third) wave in grim autumn/winter days isn’t exactly enticing. Virologists again dominate our screens (never a good sign), and so my wife and I lately have been watching yet another silly Netflix...
