S2E2 CORONADEMIC

This may be Sir Roger at his passionate, optimistic, honest, humane best,  

Has this pandemic been the worst ever social and economic disaster in our lifetimes? Or has it been the squealing brakes we needed, to curb our pre-pandemic headlong, tunnel-vision rush towards . . . well, where? . . . And is it unprecedented? Or is it just one of the smaller health crises in roughly 300,000 years of the human story?.

What has roared up to surprise us is an incredible global treasure-trove and display of creativity and ingenuity that hadn’t displayed itself quite so publicly or broadly before. A lot of people are suddenly engrossed in something they love doing that has become more than a frivolous hobby.

We have discovered new ways of doing things and embraced new rules for living. There has been an extra flourishing of kindness and caring. And we have been excitedly learning and practising how to create a new and better future for all of us.
