Abstract
To the editor, " To all evils there are two remedies: time and silence [1]." This citation from The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas, written in 1844, in collaboration with Auguste Maquet, appears to be timely nowadays. This showed how novels can often be able to teach us how to lead some wars. The fight against the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), that overwhelmed the planet for about two years, required and still requires silence to think and time to act, to find the right strategies for the beginning of the "new normal".
