The precursor of the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic was discovered in 1965, isolated from the nasal swabbing of a child with a common cold.
Sadly, it's impossible to calculate how many lives were actually lost to covid. So many government missteps that can not be accurately figured in.
My suspicion is that it's a large percentage when considering incentives to health providers to call a death covid related when it was not, such as an auto accident victim who also had covid. Also, so many politically motivated, foolish social directives which increased the contagion.
So much data. So unclear.
