    Lots to explore!!
    BRIAN MAY:
    I'm not an immunologist - but anyone with even a scant understanding of logic and statistics has been feeling angry and anxious this last 3 weeks. These are my thoughts - I hope they are helpful.
    My heart reaches out to those already directly suffering from the effects of the CoronaVirus. Our Spanish friends are now in the heat of the battle, as we in Britain will soon be, barring a miracle. God bless ya - be strong and be careful. Vaya con Dios.
    Folks everywhere - our miracle will come - but we need to help it happen. We need to buy time - and the closer we get to a Nation where every household is isolated from every other - the more time we will buy. Remember not to expect things to change immediately - turning this thing around is like trying to make an ocean liner change its course - you have turn the rudder and then wait until it slowly responds. But we can do this.
    Be safe - and let’s be grateful we have a chance here. And let’s still try to enjoy each day we’re given.
    KEEP CALM AND CREATE !!! #dontstopusnow
    Cheers - Bri "

      Will Colon unfortunately in the face of some false positives there are many (at least in Italy according to estimates at least six cases each case discovered) asymptomatic positives that circulate without knowing they are infected and attending carelessly relatives spread, even if involuntarily, the virus.

It’s scary every time I go to work cause we don’t know who’s infected and who’s not, because they are only testing those with severe symptoms, so because anyone can carry this virus and not show symptoms, it’s a shame! Please take care and stay well! Everyone needs to stay home and protect our most vulnerable.

    What an amazing human being - congratulations to Brian May for what he is giving of himself to the world in this time of crisis. As an Australian, I am appalled at what is NOT being done here in Australia to curb the spread of covid-19. We seem not to be progressing against the fight to halt this virus, but in fact, regressing. Allowing 2,700 cruise ship passengers to disembark in Sydney last week, and to all go on their merry way. The Army, Airforce, Navy, Police, whoever - should have been there to take these people straight into quarantine. No-one wants to take the blame for this major stuff-up. We now have a surge in cases and already two deaths of passengers that came off these ships. They have learned their lesson now, and we have 2 ships, so I believe, in the waters off the W.A. coastline, with passengers (not sure of numbers), waiting to disembark and be taken straight into quarantine on Rottnest Island. A number of New Zealand passengers also on board, will be flown straight back home. Too late now to worry about the 2,700 from last week, and Heaven forbid the numbers of covid-19 cases that will increase in the coming week or so.

    Hello Brian..very informative, I thank you for that. I've not been active on Facebook for a while but just 5 days ago I made one post..."IS THIS THE WORLD WE CREATED", the version you & our beloved Freddie performed at LiveAid. I did not even notate it for I truly felt it's self explantory. Thank you to you & Freddie for writing that song so many years ago..it was true then & even more prolific & profound today. Thank you for giving so much of yourself to this world..Blessings to everyone!

I really have to just focus on your music because when I relax and allow myself to feel about Freddie and you, Roger and Dean, l cry. You all invoke such emotion that even right now , this minute my tears flow.. I thank you and Roger have continued making people happy just as Freddie did with you three so many years ago. Keep on keepin' on! Love you guys! And I will always love Freddie. The resurgence is wonderful.

    Thanks so much for these words, Brian, so comforting to hear someone express what one feels but has difficulties to express and explain to people who are near. Can you imagine that just the other day a so called "expert" in Sweden widely proclaimed that everyone in the risk groups should isolate, and the rest should carry on with their lives as usual... it’s such a shame and so tragic... Thanks, Brian...😌

Everything you said is correct and well thought out. You put things in such a simple, clever, logical way that surely anyone can see that what you’re saying is the right thing which people should be doing. It’s so so important. Each and every one of us has someone in our life we like or love. Why would anyone put that person in danger let alone people they don’t know and haven’t had the chance to like. Keep your distance and stay at home people. Keep the people we love, in our life. Please.

I cannot tell you how it feels to see you on a video talking to us like this. I also can't tell you how much I love Queen. For the last year I have done nothing but watch youtube and Queen. I am so crazy over it, my family thinks I am getting senile. lol I am 70...so I know Queen and have always loved you guys. Being stuck in the house like this and watching Freddie can get a bit depressing. I cry quite often...and I don't care who thinks I'm nuts. The fact that you do these videos is really helpful to a lot of us. One of our heroes ...talking directly to us. It is to say I guess, that you are sharing something with us. It may not be all that good...but you are just like us, for now. Love you Brian, and thank you so much for your words...also those little guitar solos....love them too. Bless you.
