@PeteS in CA - thanks for your posts on the vaccine. I find them quite useful.
I started tracking news about what came to be called Covid-19 back in early February, 2020, or maybe even late January, for a couple of reasons.
I saw that the shampeachment was going to crash and burn, so I knew the Dems and MSM would be looking for something new to politicize. Covid seemed a very likely possibility.
My daughter is a student at a university in China. She came for a semester and holiday break visit in early January 2020 and is still unable to return. So progress in fighting the disease has had a personal connection this past year.
