Even in the difficult times of a global pandemic (流行病), Italians created beauty and joy.
Italy is in a state of total isolation (隔离), with 17,660 cases of the coronavirus as of Friday, March 13th, according to the World Health Organization. But people in the country have started coming out on their balconies, leaning out their windows to sing together and sending messages to the world through social media at the same time.
On Friday, Italians sang the national anthem (国歌) together at 6 pm. They joined together to praise health-care workers on Saturday. According to the New York Times, at 6 pm on Saturday, Italians would sing Azzurro, a hit song recorded in 1968. And on Sunday, they would sing Ma il cielo è sempre più blu, which topped the charts in 1975.
Watching videos of Italians creating a community atmosphere (氛围), even while in isolation, is pure delight (愉快).

Outside of Italy, people are finding other ways to use music to comfort each other in these hard times. Broadway actress and singer Laura Benanti invited students whose musicals have been canceled in the wake of the coronavirus to share their performances with her online.
These delightful videos remind us that even if the virus outbreaks require us to be isolated, we can still find creative ways to feel the connection with one another.
