The government’s strategy to reserve second jabs was overly cautious, keeping it now is indefensible
Recently my colleague Josh Oudendijk penned a well-argued opinion defending the government’s strategy to reserve second jabs.

The Schuman vaccination scandal - a masterclass in ill-advised press briefings
In trying to justify a decision that is on the face of it unjustifiable, today's press briefing from Hôpitaux Robert Schuman was a masterclass in how not to handle a scandal.

“Normality is not where people exist, it’s a place of judgment”
This is sentence – or something like it – is one I have repeated to about 16 different people since I heard it on a podcast a couple of weeks ago (ACFM, a podcast about the ‘weird’ Left, hosted by Novara Media).

A radically human act: Mourning mass death in times of pandemic
The number of people who have died from Covid-19 has become so high that our minds sometimes struggle to process the very real, human story behind the cascade of statistics trickling down on us each day. A few thoughts on the meaning and importance of death, dying, and grieving in times of pandemic.

Europe be warned: Biden’s policy priorities are at home
On his first day in office, President Joe Biden recommitted the United States to the Paris Climate Agreement and re-joined the World Health Organisation, but European onlookers should not be mistaken. Don’t expect Biden to make restoring American leadership on the world stage a priority.

The mental health crisis is more than just a side effect of the pandemic
During a recent press conference, Prime Minister Xavier Bettel talked about taking the pandemic's impacts on mental health into account when deciding on the new Covid-19 regulations, indirectly making it a reason for not imposing a hard lockdown. This argument was at best poorly worded and at worst additional proof for Luxembourg's poor handling of mental health issues.

The Grand Duke's trip to Biarritz may have been legal, but it was irresponsible
The monarch's trip to southern France during stay-at-home orders was far outside the scope of reality, writes Josh Oudendijk. But not everyone voiced their concerns as much as they could have. The Grand Duke, meanwhile, should have apologised.

Covid Christmas 2020 - a bitter pill to swallow
It's supposed to be the merriest time of the year. Laden with presents, young professionals go home to see their elderly parents and soak up the comforts of home. What is Christmas without someone else to do your laundry, cook for you and generally spoil you?

The Christmas conundrum or how to avoid getting bogged down in jolly consumerism
The Christmas spirit is slowly making its rounds again, and it seems that despite the government's partial lockdown, a lot of people still cannot seem to escape the almost traditional pre-festivities stress and shopping frenzy. Is the panicked scrambling for a last-minute Christmas present really a "patriotic task", or is this year's restricted end-of-year period not rather the perfect opportunity for us to reconsider our whole approach to the most wonderful time of the year?

The time seems right to catch up with an old friend and provide some consolation.
