Gene DellaSala Has Coronavirus

Well it was a marble rye.. 

THAT'S what I told the officer!

In 2009 schools closed, social distancing was enacted, US Gov declared a national health emergency within a few weeks and the CDC released millions of antivirals and respiratory equipment. No we didn't panic as much but it wasn't as deadly. We have no antivirals that work on this virus,  the response it to try and get ahead as much as possible with the only thing we can do make people aware and use social distancing, Hygiene methods of washing hands and covering sneezing and coughing.

It still managed to kill anywhere from 151,700-575,400 worldwide. Some say a number of 284,000 deaths worldwide is the likely amount.

All the best,
