August 23, 2021 In spite of the influx of journals, emails and newsletters during my time away from my desk, I have stuck with my determination to avoid doing another translation this month. I have however received a number of very interesting links and commentaries from around the world. It seems that the countries where the most stringent restrictions and most “effective” vaccination campaigns have been waged, are the countries with the most virus challenges during the current times. Here are a few important links from our colleagues. From [...]
