Rescue During COVID19
I think we can all safely say that 2020 has not been quite the year we all expected. When coronavirus first crossed my radar I was pretty naive to say the least, thinking like many others that “it’s no worse than the flu!”. I was in for a rude awakening when the schools shut down …
