Finding the words for a world in crisis

  In December 2019, we heard vague murmurings about it and began to wonder: “What's going on?” In January 2020, it started spreading and the situation became increasingly more disturbing! By March 2020, the whole planet was affected. All of a sudden, we were staring at the stark reality. Our buzz words became: “Covid-19”, “coronavirus”, “social distancing”, “lockdown”, “barrier measures”, “hand sanitizers”, “mandatory face masks”, “confirmed cases”, “deaths”, “cured cases”, “chloroquine”, “azithromycin”, “Artemisia” and so on.
