Rebecca Tan. Antonio Olivo, and John D. Harden offer a
horrifying booklet in the Washington Post, “How the Coronavirus tore throughD.C., Maryland, and Virginia."
In the DMV, “900000 infected, 15000 dead”.
The first positive case in the District of Columbia
was announced by Mayor Bowser on Saturday, Feb. 29.
There were no cases in Virginia until early March.
But whole families started getting infected, sometimes
with serious results, and by the end of March lower income people in larger
households, who could not isolate, were starting to get it.
It would spread among different demographics with the
reopenings. In the fall, it would be
college students spreading it home.
Families would have little gatherings, and everyone
would get sick in a few days.
Among younger adults, or even older adults living
alone with lower exposures, actual illness would be much less common. But in some families, many would be come very
ill and would have deaths, sometimes after a prolonged time on ventilators. Some
adults would have to go to skilled nursing facilities to learn to walk again
after “recovery”.
