You know to think about Halloween is a little unreal. If we live or die is perhaps on our mind right now. We have lots of it in the states here, too. I will never think that this virus is an act of God? Do you? Perhaps He's trying to wake us up.

It might be an act of man blamed on God, free will, remember...

Yes, it is a scary time for all the world over. You did a great job detailing the effects of the virus where you live. I like the idea of the singing from the balconies. One never knows how s/he will react until it is them feeling the effects of this evil thing. Thanks for sharing. Respectfully, Jan

Comment from Elizabeth Emerald
Good story. Defiance through out-singing the plague. My philosophy indeed. For me, joining Fanstory is a godsend--spending hours here, posting a backlog. Hang in there. LIZ Love the picture--lots of fun stuff on there--Corona beer relabeled Ebola! I put several parody pieces on my profile page. WARNING: CONTENT MAY OFFEND

Comment from estory
It gets scarier and scarier as it hits closer to home. When your co worker gets sick, that's really scary. I liked how you described the spirit of the Italians caught in the grips of the epidemic, singing to boost their morale and cope with the isolation. And I liked that closing image of the Halloween costume; the hazmat suit. yes that might be the star costume this year if this passes by then. great personality in the writing. estory

Comment from thaities, Rebecca V.
Everyone should practice keeping a diary during this time to stay busy and relieve stress. Try to find the lessons learned. Folks should get back to reading the Bible. Most have forgotten God.
"13 If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; 14 if my people, [c]who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
2 Chronicles 7:13-14

Comment from Fonda Little
My favorite part was, "Well, they found a very humanitarian mode to deal with it: they sing the virus to death.", because it's so positive, and it's great to see people uniting instead of dividing especially during a crisis!
The Lord led me to these verses after I read this,
Proverbs 18:21 New International Version (NIV)
21 The tongue has the power of life and death,
and those who love it will eat its fruit.
1 Peter 5:7 New International Version (NIV)
7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

I hope your co-worker doesn't have the Covid-19. Please stay healthy. Wish you didn't have to go into work and could be at home!
Yes, it's heart-warming that the Italians know how to sing to encourage one another. The Chinese in Wuhan would shout out slogans at each other to cheer each other.
Comments:
"the guitar cords." (chords?) Perhaps you meant guitar strings?
" Ups, my co-worker" (Oops? not ups)
" I hope is " (it's not is?)
