Deaths from Covid-19 exceeded 1 million people on Tuesday, according to a Johns Hopkins University database, the known toll of nine relentless months of a pandemic that has changed everything, from global balances of power to the mundane aspects of daily life.
We received this by email a few days ago:
With a focus on our environment, we are welcoming sheep to the Vers-chez-les-Blanc campus during October and November. Please feel free to say hello, but be aware of the electric fence and DO NOT feed the sheep.

It was surprisingly well received :)
