Interregnum, week 9
One year ago this week, I read a New York Times story about an outbreak of a mystery pneumonia in Wuhan. And it was already here.
I've wondered a lot whether I might have had an asymptomatic case in those early months. My county was the early hotspot when testing started happening in my state, and I was commuting back and forth in crowded light-rail trains, working in an open office, and out and about in public transit on weekends. I was definitely the sort of person you'd expect to catch something transmitted by breathing the same air as lots of other people.
I'll probably never know. If I get a nice strong immune response once I'm fully vaccinated, then that's a good indication that I hadn't previously encountered the virus. But if I don't, then I'll just have to wonder.
I don't have anything to add to what's already been said many times over about the storming of the Capitol building. I will say I hadn't known you could impeach someone after they were out of office.
