How to manage the pandemic on the left?
- The coronavirus pandemic is also being a stress test for social organization, and we will have to address the questions before us.
As the pandemic progresses, COVID-19 is so effective that it seems that it will kill many lives and kill the world.

We all did what we could.
For the second wave I expected another preparation.
