        An interesting read and definitely on many of our minds. Personally, Covid-19 is not something I particularly fear following my stage IV melanoma. Although there are no studies, I am hoping that the immunotherapy is less of an underlying condition in case of this novel pandemic. However, Covid-19 can produce cytokine storm where our immune response goes beserk and it may be that it is just as deadly. Time will only tell. Where there is life, there is always hope. Let’s remain positive and everyone stay safe.

        P.S. Does anyone have any news on Mike, our favorite person?
