Some say
this pandemic began
on November 30, 2019
as that was the day
of the first confirmed Covid case.
And some say
this pandemic began
on March 11, 2020
as that was the day
of the WHO’s pandemic declaration.
But I think all would say
this pandemic
has lasted far too long.

COVID is a systemic disease that can harm the brain, heart, immune system and more.
Every reinfection increases the risk of Long COVID, chronic illness, disability and even death.
If people understood the real danger, they’d take prevention seriously instead of accepting repeated infections.

I masked 100% of the time for all parent interviews (as I have since the beginning of the pandemic). Of course, some of the families are now all sick (kids home this week)...likely asymp spreaders during interviews. I'm still healthy because I wear a respirator in public.
