We re approaching the first anniversary of the COVID-19 pandemic really kicking into high gear. Hard to believe it s been 12 months. Remember when last March felt seven years?
We were thrust into a whole new world, only because none of us had ever experienced anything like it before. And anyone who HAD didn t remember because they were infants. I m talking, of course, about the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918. And yes, there were a very few scattered throughout the country and the world who were there for it and here for this one.
The streets were quiet. The stores were closed. At the beginning, last year, it really did look like another post-apocalyptic thriller about to unfold at your local multiplex. Except none of us was going for popcorn.
