How to determine the Accurate Social Distance?




Apart from handwashing, social distancing is the other notion we keep hearing all the time in any type of media. The advice to apply social distancing keep coming out of the mouth of physicians, politicians, artists, sportsmen, show moderators, journalists, little children, common people, etc.

Some of them call it sanitary distance, or social distance, or safe zone, or physical distance. But the big question is: How can people measure the accurate distance? Should they get a metallic meter with them and measure the 1.5 - 2 m distance anytime they come close to other people? Or, should they just open wide their arms and use this practical way to measure the social distance? Differently, take a huge pen and sign a circle with a 1.5 m radius and stay in the middle of it. Another way is to walk in the street inside a bubble 😉.

I'm sure among billions of people living under the isolation regime, lots of creative ways are found. But, I think one of the most original ones is that of the authorities of Leon County in Florida, USA. In an attempt to make it simple and very practical to people how to apply social distancing they wrote on Facebook:           

"This is a reminder that during COVID 19, please remember to keep at least 1 large alligator between you and everyone else at all times." 

This message was illustrated with this fantastic photo as well:




I became curious to learn how long is a big Aligator. And, guess what. If they were talking about an American alligator, people should keep a distance of 3 - 4.6 m. But, if they were talking about a Chinese alligator, they should stay 1.5 m apart. 😊😂



Jokes apart, I think it is very important to respect social distancing and personal hygiene rules. This is the only way for us to give time to scientists to find a cure for the COVID-19 infection.

Current Situation with Coronavirus Crisis in the USA

  • Number of infected people 311, 637 (no. 1 in the world)
  • Numer of total deaths: 8,454
  • Number of recovered people: 14,828
  • Number of people in a critical situation: 8,206

    The Corona Beer in the terrible Corona Virus Crisis




    I love "Corona" Beer. It is one of the two beers I actually enjoy (and that is not bad for a wine drinker like me). But, the poor beer was held 'guilty' by the general public due to its name. Unconsciously, people associate the Mexican beer with the novel coronavirus.

    At the beginning of the pandemic crisis, I was sorry to hear some news, about the decline in sales of Corona Beer. I was surprised. Why the hell should people associate the beer with the virus? But, then I understood that most people at the time did not know anything about the virus. They were not aware of the fact that scientists named the novel virus according to its shape, like a crown (in Latin corona).

    Coronavirus projected

    So, I kept looking for other pieces of news about my favorite beer. And, here is a sad one: The company in Mexico announced the temporary interruption of the production of beer. Reason? The deteriorating coronavirus situation in the USA. All bars and restaurants are closed and alcoholic drinks are not considered basic food from the federal government.

    Differently from the previous news, the Corona Beer company declared that it had a successful first quarter for 2020. Sales exceeded forecast and even new products recently introduced to the market went well. Apparently, these good results were reached due to the relaxed situation in the USA.

    But, April's situation was turned ups and down. Right now the USA is the most affected country by coronavirus crisis in the world. The whole country is locked down and it is the government who decided which goods could enter the country. Even though there has been higher demand from isolated people for beer, still no import of "Corona" beer is allowed.

    I hope the Beer of the Crown will reassume production soon. Otherwise, its American customers will suffer its absence. Fortunately, there is still "Corona" beer in the supermarket shelves where I live, so let's raise a toast:

    "To the end of coronavirus and to return of normal life. Cheers with a Corona beer, lemon, and salt." 🍺

    This is a Funny Aftereffect of Frequent Hand Washing




    The frequent and proper handwashing is one of the symbols of the COVID-19 Pandemic crisis. And, I'm sure the industry of soap is blooming in this period. Almost every person on earth is washing hands thoroughly and more frequently.

    But, what happened in a Florida Zoo was very funny. One of the female orangutans, Sandra, 34 years old has started to wash her hands for 20 seconds after watching her caretakes doing so. Isn't it funny guys? I laughed so much when I saw the video. Unfortunately, the owners of the video removed it, so I'm not able to show it to you.

    But, you can imagine a big orangutan sitting on the floor with a bar of soap in hand. She uses a washbowl to wash her hands 😂. While we are struggling to teach our little children to properly wash their hands, the lady orangutan here, learned it in an autodidact way. 😆

    The situation today with Coronavirus Crisis


    This is a funny moment in a very tragic day of coronavirus crisis. 5,663 people died today from the infection, and 1/5 of them were in France 😢. The number of infected people around the world is over 1 million people now, and the crisis has not reached its pick yet. The total number of deaths so far: 52.855 people. RIP

    The Worst Day of Coronavirus Crisis for Spain



    The pandemic crisis is exploding in Europe and the USA. Spain continues to reflect on how heavy the situation remains there, with the high number of deaths and infected people. The situation is worsening in France, UK, and Germany. The total number of countries affected by the virus is 202. 


    Here are the updated figures of the Coronavirus Crisis as per April 1, 2020: 

    Number of Infected People: 933,688


    Top 5 countries: 1. USA - 213,908
                               2. Italy -  110,574 
                               3. Spain - 104,118
                               4. China - 81,554
                               5. Germany - 77,981

    USA continues to be the most affected country in terms of number of people infected. While Italy is showing reduced speed of new infection, Spain is increasing quite fast in number of infected people. 

    Number of Deaths: 46,869 (+4,560)  


    Top 5 countries: 1. Italy - 13,155 (+727)
                               2. Spain - 9,387 (+923) 
                               3. USA - 4,788 (+735)
                               4. France - 4,032 (+509)
                               5. China - 3,312

    Spain has reached another new records on daily deaths😢. USA, UK (+536) and France are growing pretty fast in this indicator as well.  Italy remains still high in number of deaths/day. 

    Number of Daily New Cases: 75,333


    Top 5 countries: 1. USA - 25,378
                               2. Spain - 8,195
                               3. Germany - 6,173
                               4. France - 4,861
                               5. Italy - 4,782

    The number of daily new cases continues to grow and the main contributors are: USA and Spain. The pandmic crisis in USA is moving up numbers of worldwide statistics. Still increasing the number of daily new infections in Spain. 

    Number of Recovered People: 193,831  (on average +10,000 per day) 


    Top 5 countries: 1. China - 76,238
                               2. Spain - 22,647
                               3. Germany - 18,700
                               4. Italy - 16,847
                               5. Iran - 15,473

    The recovery rate so far is only 20% of total infected people, far away from the calculated rate of 99%. Seems that the isolation regime most affected countries are applying will change the final date of the pandemic. Seems that titanic effort of Spanish physicians are paying back with the fast increasing recovery cases there. Germany is woring well with recoveries as well.  

    Number of Active Infected People: 692, 928 (+15,794) 


    Top 5 countries: 1. USA - 200,315
                               2. Italy - 80,572
                               3. Spain - 72,084
                               4. Germany - 58,350
                               5. France - 42,023

    The increasing perfomance in this indicators means the pandemic crisis is still expanding. So, more time in needed for us to say when the pandemic crisis is coming to an end. China has got out of the Top 5 Countries Ranking, displaying the real case when the crisis is under control. Let's hope this indicator will be decreasing in the next weeks.  

    Number of People in Critical Situation: 35,475  (+2,369)


    Top 5 countries: 1. France - 6,070
                               2. Spain 5,872
                               3. USA - 5,005
                               4. Italy - 4,035
                               5. Iran - 3,871


    The number of people in critical situation continues to grow, despite the high number of deaths. The math was not right last weeks, as many people in Italy and Spain were dying in their homes, without being registered in the official numbers. Seems that now the data are complete and we can project high number of deaths for the coming week as well.    

    The bad news is increasing while the coronavirus crisis is blooming in Europe and the USA. Italy and Spain are the most affected countries for fatalities' number. RIP! In both countries, the health system is completely collapsed, due to the very high number of patients in need of hospitalization. Both these countries have registered high levels of infections to medical staff in the front line too. The tremendous spreading speed of the pandemic is putting a lot of pressure into the health systems in affected countries.

    The only way we can help the medical staff and our health is to stay at home and apply high-level hygiene and social distancing. Our behavior will determine while we decrease the speed of the virus' spreading, thus reducing the number of cases that go to the hospital. A big appeal for all Americans and Europeans: Stay at Your Home, please! Let's sacrifice today our social life in the name of life! The pandemic crisis will come to an end soon and we may continue with our normal routine and interrupted plans.

    Food Contamination charged as Terrorist Attack




    Some days ago, I wrote about an unusual notification from the FBI. They declared the call of some extremist groups in the USA, who were planning to use coronavirus as a biological weapon.   And, it seems they did the right thing to raise public awareness about that potential threat.

    The first case was registered with a woman two days ago in a grocery shop in Pennsylvania. She made it damage $35,000 of fresh food on the shelves of a Gerrity supermarket. How she did it? In the most disgusting possible way: spitting and coughing right over fresh vegetables, fresh meat, bread, and some groceries. Security cameras showed the woman doing this horrible action on purpose while shouting she was infected with the coronavirus.

    The end of the story? The woman was arrested and charged with four crimes: 2 felony counts of terrorist threats, 1 for use of a biological agent, and 1 for criminal mischief. Meanwhile, the supermarket staff has thrown away the full amount of contaminated food and performed full disinfection of the shop and particularly of the shelves with contaminated food. 

    It sounds crazy to see a young woman (only 35 years old) doing such an ugly action, especially related to food. Food is one of the fine things in life and is considered sacred even in normal times. But, damaging food in a situation of panic, as the existing one caused by coronavirus pandemic crisis, is a great sin. And, a penal offense as well.

    I am curious to know if the arrested lady was infected in reality and if she is part of any of the extremists' groups mentioned by the FBI. Or, she is just mad on her own and thought to do a stupid and cruel thing to express the darkest side of her soul. I don't know! I hope she will not serve as an example for other disturbed people around the world. And, I really hope she gets maximum punishment possible. 

    Meanwhile, do not forget to wash thoroughly any type of food you enter in your house. Contamination could happen even unintentionally and it is a safety measure to disinfect with alcohol all packages of food. Stay Safe and Healthy!

    The Worst Day Ever of Coronavirus Crisis



    A Black Friday to be forgotten. This is the best way to describe what happened today in Italy and other affected countries. New daily death records and an increased number of infected people. The total number of countries affected by the virus is 199. 


    Here are the updated figures of the Coronavirus Crisis as per March 27, 2020: 

    Number of Infected People: 593,597


    Top 5 countries: 1. USA - 101,725
                               2. Italy -  86,498 
                               3. China - 81,304 
                               4. Spain - 65,719
                               5. Germany - 50,871

    USA is now the most affected country in terms of number of people infected. This is  bad news and shows how the situation is deterrieating there. Italy has overpassed China, ranking at second place for this indicator.     

    Number of Deaths: 27,214 (+3,141)  


    Top 5 countries: 1. Italy - 9,134 (+969)
                               2. Spain - 5,138 (+773) 
                               3. China - 3,292
                               4. Iran - 2,378
                               5. France - 1,995 (+299)

    This is the worst day ever for number of daily deaths. Italy and Spain has reached new records 😢. While the 969 deaths in Italy in the last 24 hours are the highest ever happened during coronavirus crisis.  France and USA are close to number of daily deaths. Let's pray there will be no new records for this indicator. 

    Number of Daily New Cases: 61,662 


    Top 5 countries: 1. USA - 16,290
                               2. Spain - 7,933
                               3. Germany - 6,933 
                               4. Italy - 5,909
                               5. France - 3,809  

    The number of daily new cases is doubled compare to the beginning of the week. USA, Spain and Germany are main contributors for this increase. While in Italy this indicator has been decreasing slightly. Two other countries are rapidly increasing performance in this indicator: UK and Turkey. Number of new cases added  is the main indicator, which shows what will be the next countries highly influenced by the virus crisis.     

    Number of Recovered People: 132,526  (+8,574) 


    Top 5 countries: 1. China - 74,588
                               2. Iran - 11,133
                               3. Italy - 10,950
                               4. Spain - 9,357
                               5. Germany - 6,658

    The numbe rof recovered people is increasing and European countries are making the biggest contribution for that. Still, the worldwide recovery rate remains lower than the theoretical rate of 99% mentioned by scientists. 

    Number of Active Infected People: 433,787 (+49,937)  


    Top 5 countries: 1. USA - 97,966 (+15,694)
                               2. Italy - 66,414 
                               3. Spain - 51,224 (+4,818)
                               4. Germany - 43,871 (+5,873)
                               5. France - 25,269

    Almost 50,000 more people is the net increase for this indicator. This is the biggest daily increase so far. High number of new cases infected is overpassing the number of closed cases (recovered and deaths).  

    Number of People in Critical Situation: 23,651 (+4,294)


    Top 5 countries: 1. Spain 4,165
                               2. France - 3,787
                               3. Italy - 3,732
                               4. Iran - 2,893 
                               5. USA - 2,463


    Daily increase of number of people in critical situation is very big. This is another indicators worsening over this week. Spain, France and USA will be countries when the crisis will hit hard over the coming days.  

    The bad news is increasing while the coronavirus crisis is blooming in Europe and the USA. Italy and Spain are the most affected countries for fatalities' number. RIP! In both countries, the health system is completely collapsed, due to the very high number of patients in need of hospitalization. Both these countries have registered high levels of infections to medical staff in the front line too.

    The Funny Paradox in the Mexican-American Border



    Coronavirus is definitely turning things ups and down. At least this is what is happening in the Mexican - American border. Mexicans ask for the closure of the border for US citizens not to allow for coronavirus to spread in their country. 


    As the USA is ranked Number 1 country affected by coronavirus pandemic (with more than 100,000 infected people), its neighbor countries are worried about this situation. And, as an irony of fate, after so many rejections and obscenities made directly by the US President, Donald Trump, it's time for Mexican people to pay him back.

    A group of Mexican protesters in Sonora has blocked the Deconcini checkpoint for several hours. The protesters wore medical face masks and had in their hands some banners saying "Stay at Home". They asked the Mexican President to take measures to enforce the banning of the border for US residents.     

    "No more people from the US to cross the Mexican border" was their main message. They asked to stop immediately tourists and other people traveling for medical purposes or work. In this banning should be included even the Mexicans who go to the US for schooling.

    The terror of coronavirus spread has made people sensitive to their well-being. And this time is the Mexican people that want to stop the infection rolling to their country. They want to avoid huge health problems, similar to what we are seeing in most affected countries. 

    I don't know if the US President will hear about their protest, but I think this is a very funny paradox caused by coronavirus crisis. Suddenly, the positions are exchanged and today the US is considered the source of problems and is rejected by their neighbors.

    I hope the protesters managed to respect the 1.5 m distance,😉 the number one advice to avoid coronavirus spread. And, secondly to have washed their hands at the end of the protest, as they were very closed to a highly infected country 😨.

    Doctors under Attack of the Terrible Coronavirus Infection



    One of the worst things about the COVID-19 pandemic Crisis is the big number of doctors infected. Statistics of most affected countries speak for more than 8% of total infected cases being medical staff.


    China counts more than 3,300 health employees infected with the coronavirus. And this is 8,3% of the total infected people there.

    In Italy, more than 5,000 medical staff has been diagnosed positive with coronavirus infection. They count for 20% of medical staff working for the pandemic crisis.

    Spain is the other country that has 14% of the total infected people being medical staff. In absolute numbers we are talking about more than 9,000 Spanish health workers diagnosed positive with coronavirus.

    The same trend is seen in other countries as well. Unfortunately, some of the medical staff infected have not made to win the war with coronavirus 😭.

    Why is medical staff getting infected?



    Many people are worried about doctors, and nurses, and sanitary workers, and other healthcare workers getting sick. First of all, it shows the potency of the virus to spread everywhere. Secondly, it reduces the number of so-much needed doctors to fight with coronavirus.

    I am very curious to understand why are doctors getting sick with this terrible virus. And, I took my answers from a fantastic infectious physician, dr. Pellumb Pipero. He is transformed into the hero of all of the isolated people these days in my country. He gives clear and straight forward advice on how to protect ourselves from coronavirus infection. So, anyone is praying for the doctor not to be infected 🙏.

    Anyway. Let me go back to the doctor's explanation about the infection of medical staff. Here are three reasons why the medical staff is getting sick.

    There is no 100% Protection Available 


    Even the best 'astronaut' costumes, the medical staff uses, could offer up to 95% protection. The medical staff serves their patients in closed spaces (ambulances, hospital rooms, and in intensive therapy rooms) and this increases the risk to take the infection even from the air.

    The Mistake during Undressing 


    Another way to get the virus is during an undressing procedure. Doctors should follow a specific way to remove the protection costume. It requires special attention to leaving all the viruses in the costume. But, sometimes due to tiredness, stress, and inattention the procedure is not followed correctly. And, that could lead to potential infection.

    Patients not telling the truth


    Coronavirus infection is causing lots if intimidation to people. The main reason being the high-scale stickiness of the virus, and the social isolation accompanying the news of being infected. So, there are some patients, who refuse to tell the truth about their travel history and about other details. The medical staff who have served them in the first instance has ended up being infected with COVID-19.


    After hearing his explanation, I feel more respect and admiration for doctors and other medical staff. Even though they know very well the risk of getting infected, they still go every day at the hospital and fight for the life of their patients. They are our Super Heroes!
