Did you Know...
In 1665-1666, the Great Plague caused London to shut down and Sir Isaac Newton, who had just graduated from college, spent two years in isolation. It was during those two years while in lock down, he developed his laws of motion, calculus, and the law of gravity.
I wonder what great discoveries will come from our time in isolation.
