From the Foreward: “Inevitably, any retrospective review of 2021 will touch upon the impacts of the COVID-19 global pandemic that has changed almost every aspect of our personal and professional lives. The latter part of 2021 brought with it some false dawns regarding how we might see its end, however as we look ahead into 2022, we can increasingly see a point where society will have to learn to live with the virus, at least for now anyway.”
