It is sad that it had to be cancelled, but there is nothing much that we can do. I mean, this health crisis is one of the biggest disasters of this year. We can just postpone this for another time. In my opinion, it is a lot more important that we try and do things that are better for ourselves. In my opinion, if we can do that, then that would make this pandemic go away a lot quicker, don't you think? Leave a Reply. |
