With equal parts boredom and wanting to document everything, I& #39;ve decided to begin a weekly Sunday segment where I post 5 stories that you may have missed this week - providing context and shouting out some incredible writers
Important pieces on COVID-19 in no particular order this week:
1.) 1,000s of British nationals have been left stranded Pakistan for the past two weeks - there& #39;s an ongoing repatriation crisis questioning the lack of charter flights after £75 million was unveiled for coronavirus rescue missions https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/10/lisa-nandy-seeks-urgent-meeting-with-dominic-raab-over-covid-19-repatriations">https://www.theguardian.com/world/202...
