Wars
The difference between a battle and a war is mainly duration. When COVID struck, many thought it was a battle easily won. But it turns out to be a war. That means changing tactics when the enemy changes. In this case, the virus has mutated into more virulent strains. It also means having perseverance; staying the course, doing what’s necessary to win until the vaccine tips the scales in our favour. Other crises like climate change are a war as well and will need similar trust in science, stoic patience, human resilience, social adaptation, technological innovation and never-give-up attitudes.
