Last Sunday started with my phone ringing from a Dutch government alert. On my screen, as for all citizens of the country that use a smartphone (2G or 3G models did not receive it):
听鈥淣oodmelding NL alert22-03-2020. Volg instructies Rijksoverheid op: houd 1,5 meter afstand! Bent U ziek of verkouden? Bijf thuis. Bescherm Uzelf en de mensen om U heen. Samen tegen Corona. Keep your distance to others[1]鈥�.

A week ago, the diary started to look unusually quiet but not surprising giving how the news about coronavirus was unfolding. I had expected that we may have to close if a full lockdown was enforced and started to look into taking video consultations or what is also known as Telehealth.

Despite following the early emergence of coronavirus with zeal 鈥� a combination of intellectual intrigue and morbid fascination with the science fiction potential of pandemic 鈥� it took me some time to fully digest the wholesale impact of the current contagion. I can鈥檛 deny that this may also have been somewhat facilitated by the pantomime of leadership on the issue, which can only be described as dark satire; fronted by a warbling narcissist full of the delusion of his pedigree.

21st of March 鈥� Oaxaca, Mexico 鈥� Day 5 of voluntary quarantine
It鈥檚 the 21st of March and the official epidemiological record in Mexico reports 203 confirmed cases of Covid-19, 606 suspicious cases, and 2 deaths. Compared with the 47,021 cases of people detected with SARS-Cov-2 in Italy or the 19,980 in Spain since the beginning of the epidemic outbreak, the Mexican numbers still look contained.

On the 19th March, the day before Boris Johnson ordered restaurants closed, I walked past the window of a packed Wagamama.
The day that it had been announced that London would be facing lockdown, tube stations would be closing, and the UK had reached a state of emergency鈥nd there, in that Wagamama, was a group of young adults, so manned that they filled one of the restaurant chain鈥檚 distinctive long benches with spill-over.
