You know what to do, don’t you?

It was going well for a while, for us Indians. A month ago, something changed. Now we’re all watching nervously as the numbers creep up and hoping this is just a blip and not something more serious. Meanwhile, a new vaccine has joined the fight against this virus. Can we come out ahead of a mindless mutation which seems to somehow find new ways to evade our attempts to render it irrelevant?
