Five months since the lockdown and there seems to be no letup in troubling news. There’s the pandemic, and then the widespread protests for Black Lives Matter across the US. There’s the searing heat in Europe, France. Greece. And while Californians are suffering through record-breaking heatwave and wildfires, some parts of the US northeastern states have been flooded by “Laura” – the strongest hurricane to hit the country this year.
