On the cover: Medicine is the practice of the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease. With the advances in medical science, human beings are getting both longer life spans and higher quality of life. From herbs to molecular signatures, humankind is experiencing a transition from traditional medicine to personalized medicine: the right treatment to the right patient at the right time. However, it is not so easy to achieve this goal because the etiology of most diseases and disorders is still unclear. From description to association, numerous researchers are working together to decipher the mechanisms behind disease. To address such challenges, more and more global collaborations are badly needed to include experts from all disciplines: not just doctors, scientists and administration staff, but also engineers, technicians and marketing managers. Not limited to a fish-eye view, we humans should widen our vision and get more deep insights beyond the human community. That is the right way to assure sustainable healthcare for humanity. |

The 4-month cycle in COVID-19 cases from Switzerland
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by the transmission of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), shows a complex epidemiological course characterized by several successive waves of infection with a certain strength, duration, and rhythm. Recently, Mitchell and Zhang reported in a publication in this journal1 their intriguing finding of a ¡°four-month intrinsic viral cycle in COVID-19¡± by analyzing the dynamics of COVID-19 cases for 14 countries separately and for a global dataset including 189 countries.
