As we headed into 2021, the world was full of challenges and difficulties, but also and more importantly, full of hope. We had COVID to tend with, as well as, lockdowns, isolation, time away from loved ones, quarantine, testing etc. But vaccines presented a cause for optimism and allowed us to resume some aspects our lives, only for Omicron to arrive, with another threat. In this fight against the COVID, mankind has fully demonstrated advanced science and technology, group wisdom and cooperative spirit. We firmly believe that mankind will eventually defeat the virus.
