Covidiots and the 2nd Wave – Week 17

Have We Reached the Turning Point Yet? Blessings – Week 11
The week passed faster than normal. Perhaps it is because we are getting used to the New Normal and Lockdown situation. Maybe it is because the 01 Jun end date is nearer now. Or could it be that we have reached a low point in our pessimism and the only way is up now? Most…
