Covid forever
(Preview)
Good to hear Dr. Norman Swan on the ABC Q+A program finally admit that covid will be around forever in one form or another. We will have to have a yearly flu/covid vaccine. Not so hard I suppose, as long as we can get back to some kind of normal. Collo.

In the fifteen minutes it took to leave the car and return to it, I saw less than 2 dozen people in the streets. Looking up and d...

Afghanistan
