Sunday Briefing: 2 August

I remember an indifferent summer about 20 years ago when I got obsessed with playing SimCity, a game, still available, where you could design and build a bustling metropolis with the resultant issues of how to manage energy, finances, roads and utilities and where rewards were gained by meeting the challenge of making your sim-folk happy (honours a nerdy player could only share with no-mates apart from his Mum, who still washed his hair in the bath). If EA Games updated to Sim City Covid Edition would they include points for crafting your city for the new 'stayhomeworking' population?
