We’ve been hosting a lot of unwanted anniversaries these days, as we reminisce on our last ‘normal’ week before Covid-19 took on full force.

On the eve of this day last year, President Trump banned most travel from continental Europe and Leo Varadker made his first speech laying out measures to tackle the spread of the virus here at home.
