The editor discusses various issues related to the journal, highlighting the relationship between the COVID-19 crisis and quantum mechanics It is well established that the main mechanism for the spread of COVID-19 is person-to-person transmission In regions in which low population density has meant low disease incidence, the danger of this pandemic is not immediate It comes only in the message of statistics, Pearson helps us, the ultimate distancing of immediacy If no one around you has suffered through COVID-19, then the statistics that prove that this is coming to get you lack immediacy Our fear and the resistance to be enormously inconvenienced are based on mathematics and models, the probing beneath the surface It's too easy not to take these distancing steps seriously until confronted with the immediacy of the first terrible example of a bad case of the disease
