Call me an idiot, but I think when two teams are tied at the end of a superover of a WC final or two players are 12-12 in the fifth set of Wimbledon final, we should award the trophy to both teams as equal winners. Rather than impose a nonsensical rule to pick one. What a day!

India, its enterprising companies must manufacture ventilators, N95 masks and regular masks. We may still have time. If we don't end up needing it, we can supply to the rest of the world and create a strategic stockpile for India for the coming winter. #covid_19 #covid_19India

2020 lesson: Leadership matters. Mortality across the globe is starkly different, fiscal response (or lack thereof) has made a big difference to livelihoods, companies with competent leaders have outperformed. Most importantly, leadership rhetoric can threaten democratic ideals.
