I just got my first vaccine shot and it gave me a lot of feelings to reflect on, especially seeing teenagers and a few children there, overhearing stories about kids, etc. This should forever be known as the pandemic that very simply did not need to be. 🧵 The pandemic entered global news in January 2020, with just 59 cases. 21 months ago. It wasn't immediately certain it was a new coronavirus, but it was a high possibility. For those unaware, SARS was also (caused by) a coronavirus. Covid-19 is pretty much a sequel.
