Daniel Bond, editor The House magazine says "In just four months coronavirus has transformed our society and our economy in previously unimaginable ways. We may be passing the peak of the pandemic, but the full implications of this crisis for business, the world of work, the operation of government, and on the functioning of our democracy, are only just beginning to take shape."
