So pleased with Biden's policies so far. Great to have the US back in the Climate agreement.

I think this pandemic has taught those who will learn from experience that our human health and our human economy is both related to the health of our environment and to the health of our neighbours. And I think that countries that don't learn this lesson are dooming us all to repeat the experience we're currently having and not in 100 years' time. People like to point at the so-called Spanish flu of 1918 and say "it's a once-in-100-years thing we're going through" but they forget SARS, they forget Ebola, they forget I don't know how many pandemics that perhaps didn't quite reach "us" as much as Covid-19 has.
And who am I to say or know anything about these things, but that doesn't seem like the right way of looking at things.
