READERS of the National are well aware that the unlamented 2020 was a long, hard year and we need to learn the lessons in order to avoid making the same mistakes in 2021. The Covid-19 pandemic has plunged us into an economic crisis, the likes of which we haven’t seen since 2008. We’ve experienced the worst recession on record which shows no sign of improving.
