If I had told you in January that in 2020 that there would be some kind of unprecedented global pandemic, to which governments would act dramatically with great force and competence/ incompetence (your choice).
That thousands would lose their lives, with America one of the hardest hit. Half the country would be wearing masks. Citizens would be locked down. City centres would be deserted. Restaurants, bars, theatres and sports arenas would close. The leisure industry would be decimated. The transportation industry would lose over 80% of its passengers. Schools would be shut down...
That the disease began in China – some conspiracies say deliberately – and so US-China trade relations would grow even more strained. Meanwhile, race riots, perhaps the worst America has ever known, would rear their ugly heads. There would be looting and violence; some city centres would be destroyed altogether...
If I said just 20% of that, you would have said – quite rightly – that I needed my head examined. And yet that is where we are.
Meanwhile Lupus UK continues to support patients.
Our grateful thanks.
Sincerely
Kevin
