From a global historical perspective we have encountered different viruses over centuries. But we forget so easily. Perhaps a mechanism of survival I suppose. Currently, we are in the middle of vaccinations against severe COVID-19. People have started to travel again, but life is still, a little on hold. At least my life. During this pandemic I have written quite a lot about the Corona virus. Probably because I have been reminded about the Swine flu.

The free word – academic freedom, is so important. I am happy that I live in Sweden where we are free to speak up. China, on the other hand, still have political refugees due to freedom of speech. I still remember watching the news on the massacre in Tiananmen Square in 1989. Students called for democracy, free speech and a free press in China. At this very moment we do not have a proper Swedish government since there are problems finding an agreement on economical issues etc. Perhaps because the middle parties don´t know whether to turn left or right. But, as long as we have freedom of speech, I am satisfied. Summer has really arrived and I enjoy these tropical evenings.

Stay safe 🐾
