Why have I taken this whole covid thing so seriously? Aside from my academic studies? And continued studies in my work?
My grandmother was the youngest of 7 children when the second wave of the 1918 flu hit her family.
She, her mother, and the baby her mother was pregnant with, were the only survivors of her family.
She lost her father and all 6 of her older siblings, to 1 virus.
She never talked about it with me, her first grandchild.
