It was approximately this date in 2020 when I read a New York Times article that followed up up its initial report on a mysterious new pneumonia that was filling up hospitals in Wuhan, China. It was believed to be due to a novel virus that might have an incubation period of up to 2 weeks and might be able to spread asymptomatically. And I remember thinking, if either of those turns out to be the case, there was probably no hope of containing it.

I meant to get a COVID booster last October, but the run-up to Orycon and the onset of the SO's health crisis immediately after Orycon got in the way, and then COVID levels were very low in the US for a while. Now they're on the upswing, and I had a weekend free, so I got vaccinated yesterday and am staying home and doing some cooking while I ride out the comparatively mild side effects of Novavax.
