We are living through a CRAZY time right now. As I write this, Israel, Italy, and Wuhan, China, are still in full quarantine because of the coronavirus, and other countries are on the verge of declaring this as well.
We are still in the "no one knows what will happen" phase. The death, loss, and fear are horrifying. I'm trying really hard not to think about how I was supposed to fly to Israel tomorrow. I don't know about you, but:

Last week, I saw an interesting announcement concerning the elections in Israel from March 2. In light of what's been going on (and that was the 3rd election for a Prime Minister), Israel has elected to form an emergency government called the "Corona Government".
