The exception that proves the rule

2021 is here to stay. A new, fresh year that will bring change. A vaccine(s) protecting us from COVID-19 is available, and it will take some time for immunity to grow. A new year also means new laws. Pandemic laws will be introduced. Early, very early, I mentioned that the term “Force majeure” must be broaden, or maybe a completely new subtitle must be introduced. It seems like there will be “Pandemic laws”. I hope that they rather will have laws instead of recommendations. Recommendations make people unsure, and that is dangerous in a pandemic society.

2021 has so far been rather stormy for the Trump administration. It is hard to believe news showing messy sceneries from the Capitolium. And people have died due to this. It reminds me a little of the French July revolution in 1830 illustrated by the famous painting “Liberty Leading the People” by Eugène Delacroix. Maybe these reactions are due to the Corona virus. Biden and Harris are vaccinated so they are prepared for transition into the White House.

Anyway, just a few reflections. I have had some days off from writing, and I am starting this year slowly. As usual, I end by saying:

Stay safe and stay tuned  🐾
