EAST NORRITON —  “It’s only been a year but it feels like 20 years,” noted Einstein Medical Center Montgomery COO Beth Duffy when reflecting on the coronavirus timeline at the East Norriton facility. “We remember back in January of 2020 we first started hearing about this ‘epidemic’ when the first death was reported by the Chinese government on Jan. 11. Then it started to ramp up when the World Health Organization declared a global emergency on Jan. 30, 2020. The first case was reported in the United States on Feb. 1, and then the first death from COVID was reported on Feb. 28 in a nursing home in Seattle. It seemed so far away when it was in China, and while we were keeping an eye on it we really didn’t think that anything was going to come of it, but we were very concerned when we started to see cases in the U.S., and then of course the first death.”
