Six years ago this week, COVID began
Who would have ever envisioned such an awful thing. 🙁

@zane333 Oh wow, Jeff Bridges dealt with cancer , I want to say about a year into COVID. He said he had cancer, and he had COVID, and COVID was worse. 😨 But that's not true of course for all, there's different types cancer. What type did you have? I'm sorry you dealt with it🌼 are you in remission?

It was a bad time. It took my uncle.
I felt like a bad nephew, since I had not seen or even spoken to him in over ten years.
Grandma then said he was in the hospital with Covid. Then she said he was getting better. Then he was gone. Quite shocking because we thought he was getting better. So sudden.
Grandma has lost her husband and two of her children already. She is still hanging on, though. She is VERY old.

@samueltyler2 I was aware this happened, but then this was the same person who suggested that injecting bleach was a possibility…so, yeah.
However, it wasn’t just the USA, countries worldwide were woefully unprepared.
Shocking really when a serious pandemic is expected every 100 years or so. COVID came when expected - the last major outbreak was 1918-20 (Spanish flu, which killed 50+ million).

@Fizzle He has done so much damage to so many programs and people. The mRNA research is so groundbreaking, it is the future for cancer therapy, disease preventing vaccines, etc.
while it wasn't just the US, the US was the leader, the CDC was the shining beacon for science and disease prevention, until Trump destroyed it!
if you are interested, read Barry's book, The Influenza. My department of preventive medicine made it required reading.
Do you work in the field? Care to PM?

@samueltyler2 I'm with you on this. There is no empirical evidence of where Covid started - I'm content to leave it at that.

@samueltyler2 Yes 👍
