It’s a strange new world we live in, when @ladygaga is talking to @hugodejonge on Twitter! 😲😲 #netherlands #stuffdutchpeoplelike #COVID19
Thank you Netherlands & @hugodejonge for your support for a #COVID19 vaccine and to @WHO! Global citizens hope that the Netherlands will also continue to support @gavi and that other countries will follow your example and contribute to @CEPIvaccines 🙏

Londoners, if you’re struggling today, remember this: Tomorrow you’ll wake up in a European city, where hundreds of languages are spoken and every race, religion, class, country and culture are represented. London will always be European, and London will always be open.
