Well written throughout its Coronavirus narrative story lined content which all the world is engaged fighting it. You are right but the real problem with the areas' intensity is a very complex one like Campania in Southern Italy 367people per square mile. Our governor Mr. Vincenzo De Luca has decided to close completely the region boarders to all the other regions and he was right. We have had a low rate of deaths. Now we are cautiously going through our second phase which is very delicate,too. I haven't gone out for two months so not only you must learn and know well how to behave but most of the time you must pay attention to those who refuse to accept the new behaving rules because these people are real dangerous for our health. Their stupidity cause death everywhere they go!

    Thanks for your review and the five stars.
    I enjoyed reading what someone else thinks about the coronavirus and this is real treat because it is from the view of a person who lives in another country. It is just great how countries can be on one accord on somethings. My county where I live in, is going into yellow this Friday. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing the writing about dealing with the pandemic. Any of the truthful information is helpful when focused only on the common good. However, much additional stress has been created by blowing it into a Political situation. Bill

You are right. Those who complain about this or that need to think of others--not just themselves. There isn't time to sit around and feel sorry for yourself. We need to do what we can, help where we can such as neighbors, and pray for an end to this virus crisis. Feeling sorry ain't gonna cut it. There is always something to do. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.
Respectfully, Jan

    At a time like this we do have to consider others health as well as our own.

The commentary manifests the sociological effects of the Coronavirus and the impact on humanity. It demonstrates the modification of normal behavior and the new adjustments that people of the world are mandated to incorporate in their lives.

    Thanks for reviewing my work and giving me the four stars.
    Yes, for sometime we will have to adjust until we establish a NEW way of doing things or get back to our old ways of socializing.
    Right now we are giving elbows and running from our neighbors, in other words we are distancing ourselves.

Great commentary on a very current event. This is timely and true. I like your writing style. It is very precise and straight to the point. There are no fluffy extra words here. I like that! Great job. -January L.

    I so much wanted to say how I felt but I didn't know how to do it- story or poem. For sure what is going is history.

What you say is so true, and it does make me angry when I keep seeing people who continue to flout social distancing and lockdown rules. I think I have settled into this new normal, but it has taken time, I think it's going to feel strange again when things do eventually go back to how they were. I definitely think a lot of people should read this piece.

    Yes, it will be nice when we can stop giving elbows and running from our neighbors (humor).

I am not fond of the use of the tag non-fiction on a piece with absolutely no references.
The second paragraph is not quite put together correctly and the opening sentence of the third paragraph makes no sense to me.

The author has picked a current topic and stayed focused which are both great aspects of the piece.

    Thank you for reviewing me story and the stars you gave me.
    The second paragraph relates to the first, you get up in the morning trying have a normal day but to our surprise it was changed and now we have to deal with a new normal. Here in America we are stresses the New Normal.
    The third paragraph you will have to look up the term precede-and proceed and that will explain. Down below I will insert a brief explanation of this.
    Sorry it didn't wasn't what you expected.

I agree with everything you write--especially when you insist we all have to make adjustments. Adjusting is the key to keeping a lid on this thing.
Some people find it hard to adjust. Some of them are recklessly endangering others.
Adjust. Well put.

Peace, Lee

Unfortunately the pandemic is all over the world and as you state we have a new norm and adjustments to make... It is what it is and your words emphasise the reins of change.. Short but to the point.. Enjoyed the read.
