I am now convinced that we have been too hasty in stopping testing for Covid. I understand the costs they were incurring, but with the financial hardships due to the fuel crisis, many in the population will not be able to afford them and will just ignore their infection risk to others and go toContinue reading “April 6 2022”

Today we are reminded there is a Covid Crisis, a Ukraine Crisis and a Climate Change Crisis. In which order would you place them in terms of its impact on your current and future life on this planet?
