Covid Discussion
I watched Professor Paul Kelly and Dr Anthony Fauci discuss American and Australian Covid responses, moderated by Katherine E. Bliss. This was an excellent 30 minute program, organised by the Center for Strategic & International Studies.
The concluding statements confirmed continuing cooperation between America and Australia on public health in the Pacific as a shared region, further Covid initiatives, recognition and cooperation for any further pandemic, clinical research, continuation and amplification of the relationship.

Felicity, that is so lovely to hear. I have a book pending review on NetGalley about women in the American west. This might interest you, as I recall you making some very pertinent comments on ‘Miss Kitty’ which might be relevant to this review. They would be great to see, anyway.
