It is Easter Sunday today. Normally we
would all be going to places of worship, getting together with family
or friends for a nice meal and just hanging out. But this year is a
little different. For much of the world is keeping their distance,
going out only when necessary. This is the year of the Covid-19
Pandemic.
Was this not foreseen? Of course it
was. It was foreseen by those who took the time to look.
History has seen this:
Those who forget history are doomed to
repeat it. There were preparations that could have been made, and
indeed were. Unfortunately, in the case of the United States a lot
of that was dismantled by Donald Trump.
Yes, we will get through this, but I
fear that the new normal will not look like the old.
How we choose to respond will make a
difference in each of our countries.
On this Easter I wish you all a safe
holiday!
