6 Lessons Learnt From The Coronavirus Pandemic

There have been those of us who couldn’t wait for it to be over, and then those of us who were suspicious about the next year coming; who told us all not to hype it up so much (the higher you are, the further you have to fall – they would say), to slip into the new year quietly and DON’T TOUCH ANYTHING!
