Barbara Leedom: Viruses Borrowed Life
Wicked Local
A friend asked me to write simply about the bad names I’ve been calling COVID-19 for the past nine months. He asked me to be gentle. I asked what he meant by being gentle.
“Calling things awful names does not give us any information about viruses.”
I hadn’t thought gentle when I’d called the pandemic virus a malevolent microbe and a vicious, vehement virus and other wordy epithets. So I said I’d do research and beware of junk theories. I would also pass my writing by two doctor friends.
