Abstract :
While we are waiting for the “best good news” of a vaccine that allows us to control the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19, we have to find a solution to reduce the adverse effects of the disease on people’s health. The situation is not hopeful. According to the World Health Organization, 4278180 people have been infected, of whom 292376 have died (May 13, 2020), many in their productive age who surely were out of the economic upheavals due to the measures adopted to anticipating the pandemic will also have a negative impact on the world economy.
