I would like to send my sincere "pole" to M7, the Prezzo of Uganda whom I hear has contracted Covid-19, in this late stage of the epidemic. At the young-old age of 78, M7 sits in the category of the group considered as "vulnerable."

I possibly sit in the same category as M7, I'm certainly vulnerable to certain conditions, but what I should say to him is that I got the virus and recovered without knowing it! So, he should avoid these constant tests that only raise his anxieties, if he wants to live a long life.
