Interview - Miriam Calleja Shaw

You have recently published a book called COVID-19and the Virus that Shook the World . It provides a sobering look at virus infections and pandemics, with particular emphasis on the COVID-19 strain. Presently, the cases have diminished in Europe but the spread has moved elsewhere. However, how safe is ‘safe’ at the moment? With the way things are evolving with the ’new’ coronavirus, it’s very difficult to answer this question. The WHO just last weekend warned that the worst may be yet to come. We are certainly witnessing an atrocious amount of deaths and illness in the US. We don’t yet know with certainty which factors are affecting the progression of the pandemic. Indeed we don’t even know about all the symptoms that appear with COVID-19 infection. The relative ‘safety’ is different for everyone, depending on the state of their immunity and certain other factors. For a person with average health who isn’t too old, the danger of getting severely ill may be low – but we need to

Sqaq l-Infern

Sfortunatament, it-tnedija tal-ewwel ktieb kont tliftha, imma tat-tieni wieħed niftakarha sew. Iltqajna ħdejn il-klabb tal-boċċi tal-Pietà fejn irkibna vann li ma konniex nafu fejn se joħodna jew x'se jagħmel bina. Niżżilna ħdejn Bieb il-Belt. Hemmhekk laqgħuna grupp IMMARKATI, lebsin simili ta' dak li qed nilbes jien bħalissa waqt dan il-lockdown, u mexxewna sa din il-binja kbira. Dħalna, inżilna taraġ dejjaq u rajna reċta qasira, stramba. Imbagħad dorna ftit u ltqajna ma' iktar karattri mill-kotba tat-TRILOĠIJA TAL-FIDDIEN.

Fl-2020, it-TRILOĠIJA TAL-FIDDIEN tagħlaq 13-il sena. Sa fejn naf jien, l-ebda ktieb jew sensiela ta' kotba bil-Malti ma qatt ħolqot dik li bl-Ingliż insejħulha 'craze'. Dawn it-tliet kotba irnexxilhom. LORANNE VELLA u SIMON BARTOLO irnexxilhom jinsġu storja b'alkemija perfetta ta' avventura, tensjoni u emozzjoni. Inzerta wkoll li s-sensibbilità tagħhom tgħarrset perfettament mat-tpinġijiet u l-illustrazzjonijiet ta' LISA FALZON.

U llejla se jkun hemm avveniment online biex jiġi ċċelebrat dan l-anniversarju. Id-dettalji qegħdin kollha fuq il-poster u tistgħu ssibu l-paġna ta' Facebook billi tikklikkjaw HAWN.

Dan l-avveniment huwa organizzat minn MERLIN PUBLISHERS.
