TAKE CARE!
Another year has passed, a different kind of year. Covid-19 now has the whole world in its grip and has changed a lot for both people and businesses.
We have adapted to the new normal and I cannot help but feel a sense of unreality. It feels strange to live under the restrictions we have been forced to take during these past several months.
It was almost exactly 100 years since we last had such a serious pandemic, when the Spanish flu raged. It was also a very severe flu and most of the deaths were among young adults in good health. As far as we know, no other infectious disease has claimed as many lives in such short a time as the Spanish flu.
Covid-19 can infect anyone, and we have not yet determined where this all will end. We can only hope that it ends well and that it will end soon.
I hope you can all have the opportunity to spend time with your loved ones and find new ways of doing things together. Outdoor activities and getting out into nature are a few things we can still enjoy. In Sweden, the dark part of the year is now upon us. When we light candles that shine so beautifully from the windows. The light is welcoming and spreads comfort and joy in these troubled times.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
