This book assesses the main features of COVID-19 from a clinical point of view, based on observations made during the disease epidemic in Northern Italy, one of the most affected areas in the world (the region has been the epicenter of the global pandemic for more than a month), and the first region outside China facing overwhelming numbers of cases. With no practical guidelines in place, Italian doctors were called to fight against an unknown disease. For the first time in modern history, healthcare workers and decision-makers had to find rapid solutions to a life-changing health crisis with no evidence-based recommendations or procedures in place to guide their actions. Sharing the lessons learned from this experience, and offering practical tips on implementing future programs for pandemic preparedness, the book is a valuable tool for medical practitioners and health-policy-makers wanting to better understand the complexity of the current and future global health crises.

This book looks at the major challenges of the future. Packed with the latest information and scientific understanding, it traverses a rich tapestry of crucial issues, threats and choices confronting humanity and proposes a new start basd on four broad contracts: social, natural, cultural and ethical.

Dario ed Arianna si sono conosciuti ed innamorati grazie alla passione comune per la cibernetica. Dario è costretto, per motivi familiari, ad interrompere i propri studi e ad accettare una supplenza in una scuola di periferia del Sud Italia mentre Arianna continua la propria carriera universitaria e diventa una programmatrice molto richiesta per le sue brillanti ed innovative idee sull’Intelligenza Artificiale. Così i due giovani si allontanano, loro malgrado, sia per la distanza fisica sia per il diverso tenore di vita. Il destino, a causa di un inaspettato evento, porterà Dario, da un lato, a riavvicinarsi alla ricerca e a ritrovare Arianna, dall’altro, a perderla per sempre.
