Columnist Keith Baldrey reflects on his coverage of the pandemic and why he believes it was 'the most important' in recent journalistic history.
What began almost four and a half years ago amidst an air of frightening uncertainty ended so quietly that many people may not have even noticed.
The only thing that materially changed with the rescinding of the emergency order was that health care workers no longer had to be vaccinated against the virus to work in the system. The early technical background briefings for reporters were unsettling. Various scenarios of what we could expect — how many might die, how many could be hospitalized etc. — were presented and remember, this was well before a vaccine had been developed.
But miraculously, a vaccine was developed and we began to regain our footing and slowly return to normal lives.
