Re: THE WORLD AS SEEN FROM BARLICK 210920

Bumped again. I think you would agree that none of the sensible adjustments to our way of life and the conduct of politics have been made. We can't even agree on a clear strategy to cope with the next pandemic..... (And one of the only certainties we have is that this will surely happen.)
