Summary/Abstract: Now, in April 2020, in the wake of the global coronavirus onslaught, I sit in Grbavica in Sarajevo, the same spot where I was back then, in 1992, when the siege of the city began. Having survived the four-year siege, my friends think of me as a veteran who now, at the time of the coronavirus assault, has solutions for survival, just as, from 1992 to 1996, we came up with solutions to perpetual dangers (snipers, shelling, no electricity, water, or heating, phone, or post, food, school, clothes, shoes, or institutions, and moving around being a lottery where the stakes are your life on account of the high chances of being hit by a sniper or a shell). My friends think that I have a method for overcoming fear that can help now as we adapt to the rules of our new normal.
