When we come out of the Covid-19 crisis, we need to make sure recovery efforts address the Climate Crisis (which can't be solved using social distancing!)

This variant is in Wiktionary, which lists five other variants. The OED has about fifteen.

We currently accept shillala and shillalah, as well as shillelagh. I think that's enough.
