(Apologies for the enormous gap between episode 63 and this one - its nearly been a month! Here’s a tune to listen to while you read on, for reasons that might make sense 2/3 of the way through)
I didn’t expect to be finishing this episode off under a new Melbourne lockdown. It was almost written - and after all the was meant to be in the future, a beacon of a post-COVID world where life was almost ‘back to normal’. But it’s a mirage - without a successful vaccine rollout, we have actually managed to be stuck in the past, and thus more exposed. And so here we are again.
