Apparently, we were the virus.
Despite the fact that the coronavirus has resulted in thousands of victims and has advanced in leaps and bounds, not everything is bad news. Not really, because although we humans are quarantining to avoid further infections and stop the disease, the world has shown us that it’s been able to take a breather and, little by little, it’s gone cleaning itself up.
In the Italian city of Cagliari, dolphins began to show themselves with nothing no longer stopping them. In Venice, for the first time in years, the water is clean and even the fish and swans have wanted to swim in its waterways, now devoid of human life.
Earth clearly needed to breathe.
1. Nature has pressed the «reset» button.
2. Dolphins have to started to come out and fearlessly show themselves in Sardinia

3. They’re not scared because there are no longer any boats or humans to disturb them
Así, en el puerto desierto de Cagliari, aparecieron dos hermosos delfines
Los animales tranquilos por la ausencia de botes y hombres en movimiento, se acercan al muelle dándonos imágenes emotivas y aún más en un momento oscuro y tenso debido a la emergencia del Coronavirus— Mauro🐮 (@PorLosAnimales_) March 17, 2020
«In the deserted port of Cagliari, two beautiful dolphins appeared. The animals, now calm due to the absence of boats and moving people, approach the dock, offering us touching images that are even more appreciated in this dark and tense moment because of the Coronavirus crisis».
4. Even the boars wanted to come out with their families.

Apparently, we had always been the virus.
