It's a moment in history, in a race against time. The things we do now, will decide our future. Our fate and of others, is in our hands, literally.
In years to come, people will likely speak of the pre-Covid and post-Covid period, such is the scale of change. While some things will return to the way they were, there is a feeling that nothing will ever quite be the same.
The past is a different country, they do things differently there, to borrow from L P Hartley. Events change people and dramatic upheavals transform a people forever.
We must take the good from the Covid-19 crisis where we find it, in the humanity and community strength but also learn from the mistakes.
