Doch nie waren wir so vielen potenziellen Schrecknissen gleichzeitig ausgesetzt wie heute. Falls Sie also dem Klimaschutz vorübergehend Ihre Aufmerksamkeit entzogen haben, um mit einer Pandemie zurechtzukommen, ist das schlichtweg menschlich.

Why would a successful American physician choose to live in a twelve-foot-by-twelve-foot cabin without running water or electricity?
