Another side to the #Covid-19 pandemic



First published 17th March 2020. Think about it. Another side to the COVID19:
The beginning of wisdom is to know that you don't know. The new virus leaves us with a picture of gloom and uncertainty around the world. Where not so long ago, we were moving further and further apart, today much more than ever, we can all do with a dose of human kindness.

Where once we were comfortable isolating ourselves from others, today we are forced into isolation and
