I feel a little bit like in the calm before the storm. I feel that the first the first huge winds of the storm are coming because the climate, the social climate is getting more tense. So I watch the demonstrations that are going on with sorrow and the polarizations that are happening. And the insistent questioning of scientific expertise. And I think the fight for clear and good news is going to be difficult.

On the other hand, I hope that this polarization is not going to gain much momentum right now. And I feel that the bigger part of society and in my immediate surroundings, people are more keen to leaning into gentleness, into solidarity, into sticking together. Most people I know are are OK with the rules and believe in science. Nobody can say that they are the best decisions possible but that they are made with the best intentions.
