It was wrong to believe that 'saving the economy' was an alternative to 'saving people's lives’.
If anything it is the other way around and the two goals go together so that countries that kept the health impact of the pandemic lower suffered smaller economic consequences.

A great first game for the 1st XI - a 5-3 win against Bloxham. Goals for Sasha Withers-Green x2, Izzy Rees x2 and Connie Jones. Some great hockey and benefits of an extended preseason evident. #edwardiangold #hatetheshirtlovethegame @TeddiesHockey @TeddiesSport @TeddiesSport

Unendowed with wealth or pity,
Little birds with scarlet legs,
Sitting on their speckled eggs,
Eye each flu-infected city.

The iPhone comes out in 2007 and changes the camera industry. Amazing to see a 90% decline in just 10 years after growth for decades
Amazing that something can go from peak to trough in exact 10
Makes you ask- What’s the next product where this will happen?
