We've now lived with the coronavirus pandemic for most of 2020. After a scary, uncertain spring came a long, frustrating summer in lockdown (mostly, anyway). And now that we're well into fall, many of us are feeling a familiar sense of dread as winter approaches. That's probably due in no small part to Covid-19's frightening resurgence, with record cases being reported in Europe and the U.S. Economic uncertainty — to put it mildly — is only adding to the growing fear, even as efforts to curb the pandemic remain inconsistent or, worse, minimal. Living with Covid-19, unfortunately, is not a short-term prospect. But long-term planning, steady leadership and learning from our mistakes can help guide us out of the woods.
