P.S. Two gorillas in San Diego zoo have apparently tested positive for Covid. Really not good.
These countries all have some form of national service, whereby discipline had been instilled in the whole of the population at a young age, something I feel that this country would benefit from in one form or another, but that's a whole new topic.
