Not everything is bad, we have learned and will continue learning lessons for the future. It is not the first pandemic to strike our world, nor will it be the last. Since the bubonic plague that devastated Europe, cholera, the Spanish flu, the influenza pandemic and the Ebola epidemic, have been and will be many epidemic outbreaks that we will have to face. The success as a society consists in our ability to turn them into opportunities to improve and reinvent our health system, the expansion of telemedicine is undoubtedly the greatest benefit of this pandemic.
