When despite the isolation and difficulties and people being terribly ill and dying, there was this feeling of something good might come out of this great reset of society?

That feels very distant now.

    Yes, ironically I hadn’t felt so close to people in years.

    It was incredible how reduction in emissions seem to instantly have an effect on the health of regions. Everything seemed to be up in the air as we adapted to find new ways of doing things in order to keep our vulnerable members safe. I really thought this was our chance to change things for the better.

    Obviously the deadly virus that killed millions was tragic, but I did have a sense that things might actually get better for everyone overall.
