The Ever Given fiasco may have been a disaster for global trade but holds interesting parallels to real life, says Karen Tee.

Still, we must persevere, even if the odds appear to be overwhelming, because life cannot quite go on and things cannot be accomplished if we continue to be stuck in the coronavirus rut.
