2022: Can We Come To Terms With COVID-19?

We're just over a week into 2022, and already the news headlines are full of scary daily case numbers, hospitalisations and deaths, so how can we prepare ourselves for the next 12 months without feeling desperate?

The Quicky speaks to a GP, a woman whose daughter has Covid-19, and a psychologist to find out how we can not only cope amid the ongoing pandemic, but also come to terms with what's going on and maybe even feel ok as we start this new year.
