    This time last year the world didn't know about the #SARSCoV2 virus. We've learned so much about this wily foe during the Year of Covid, ie 2020. @DrewQJoseph runs through what we know in this masterful piece. https://www.statnews.com/2020/12/14/portrait-of-the-coronavirus-at-1/ …pic.twitter.com/1UYEqqLvF9

        Well....I recall having a stressful New Years as I followed your early reporting. You have done an amazing job since the beginning. Too bad too many didn't head your warnings

        The "world" didn't know but the intelligence agencies knew for certain by November there was adeadly pandemic in China. China knew before that.

        "This time last year the world didn't know about the #SARSCoV2 virus"? That really depends on whether one considers Wuhan as part of the world. Could that be the reason why Wuhan is not mentioned in the piece at all?https://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/3074991/coronavirus-chinas-first-confirmed-covid-19-case-traced-back …

        China, Taiwan and others in SE Asia brought the virus under control quickly by using traditional techniques developed for thwarting pandemics. The rest of the world us still studying the navel of the virus......and dying!
