Reflecting on possible historical comparisons of this period of pandemic with other eras, my attention was caught by a book entitled, “No Ordinary Time” by the author Doris Kearns Goodwin. The volume documented the lives and times of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt which captures the mood, the dilemmas and the leadership qualities that were required to deal with the challenges posed by the period of the economic depression and the war. It was this reading which inspired me to write this piece.
