It’s the four-year anniversary on this tweet from the World Health Organization. The record now shows that by mid January, the Chinese government had clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of COVID; and WHO’s compliant Tweet helped perpetuate China’s initial obfuscations pic.twitter.com/zO6GY3O57b

Can imagine this getting more media coverage next year and in 6 years time, when the 5/10 year anniversaries arrive, making it a little more significant.

This made me laugh!
4 years ago today, COVID-19 was declared a pandemic. Soon after, the NBA season was shut down, Tom Hanks tested positive and by the next day, the F1 Australian Grand Prix was cancelled and then-PM Scott Morrison formed his first national cabinet meeting

There appears to be a big wave (I know we arent calling it that anymore) going through Sydney atm. I know of 4 different people who all visited recently, and all have returned home with Covid.
Really? I live in Sydney but don’t know anyone who has had it recently.

And I haven’t heard anything about COVID booster shots for this year, with winter fast approaching.
I haven’t had one since July, that was my 5th one.
Yup. My partner visited for one night for work - Covid. A friend went for one night for footy - Covid. Other friends attended Taylor from Perth - Covid.
Perhaps just coincidence but when one after the other kept updating with it…
It’s been 4 years today since we first went into lockdown.

It was definitely a very weird feeling/time, not being able to go anywhere or do all the things I’d taken for granted and seeing footy on TV played in empty stadiums.
