My first story of 2020 vs last story of 2020. It's been a year. 
I've gone back to read this story on Jan. 6 many times. My first instinct after speaking to Mr. Li Bin was this was just going to be a new cold virus. He even described it as such: "It felt like a common cold." nytimes.com/2020/01/06/wor…
He was infected at the Huanan seafood market and said none of his family members was infected. In my mind, I was thinking: "This is fine!" Little did I know.
And then, this quote from Leo Poon, a public health expert at the University of Hong Kong. “I hope this pathogen is a less harmful one so it would not cause a major epidemic similar to SARS,” he said. “It would be a nightmare for all of us.” 😭
I tempted fate by saying a Dec. 30 story was my last story of the year.
So for posterity's sake, here's my first story of 2020 vs last story of 2020. Scientists are amazing and here's to a better 2021!
