Lessons learnt from COVID-19

I think this will be one of the major health disaster of the 21th century. It has shows that in our hyperconnected world, it would not be difficult to spread a virus.

No need of a some people (activist or terrorits) to spread it, as shown in the movie "12 Monkeys".

We just need a virus with a long incubation time to allow people with no symptoms to travel before being sick...

Anyway, let's get back to the topic of this post, the lessons learnt from this period.

1 - Appreciate simple things

Being confined at home gives you time to appreciate things you would not noticed in the "pre-COVID" lifestyle.

2 - Keep contacts with relatives, friends, colleagues.

Also, it was not possible to physically meet, you can message/call or do a visio to discuss. It is different, but it is better than being totally in lockdown.

3 - Do not keep in the same location, positive cases and negative cases

Unless you want the positive cases to contamine the negative ones. It is like having zombies in a building with non contaminated people ...if you watched World War Z, you have a lot of times this situation, like that one

Or for IT people, it is like leaving a compromised machine with a worm in the production network waiting all the machines get infected.

4 - Believe in a cure.
Eventually, scientists will find a cure.

Multiple vaccins are going to be released.
