We did it?

I'd say to my kids: "I was there when it was written"

Another one for my once in a lifetime crisis collection.

The past tense in the book is concerning

"For a small number of people, the disease could be fatal." Is three million people a small number? And as others have pointed out, the pandemic isn't over. https://www.who.int/data/stories/the-true-death-toll-of-covid-19-estimating-global-excess-mortality

Does it mention how badly trump fucked us with his COVID response?

What "was" covid

Reported Dec 31, 2019, eh?

I was terminally online during that time, and some reports of a truly awful pneumonia in China were going around as early as mid-November. It was definitely known to be a major outbreak by early December. A lot of the early reports were taken down; just CCCP CCP doing CCCP CCP things.

Edit: whoops thought it had that extra C in there. Should probably use CPC anyway.

They say history is written by the victors. I wonder who wrote this.

Inb4 'Probably Victor'

A history textbook which goes past the 1960s? This definitely is not a book used in American classrooms

Now you kids know what it was like when 9/11 was in every history textbook by 2002.

The first time I felt old was when my youngest sister learned about events I remembered in school.

How long until Republicans get that book banned for spreading false information? Lol

Are they going to leave out the part where the president called it a hoax while simultaneously spitballing ideas about UV light, bleach and horse dewormer cures all while thousands of Americans were dying every day. Or the part where he emptied the treasury with zero oversight?

What a bizarre experience.

When I was in school...I'm pretty sure the state history cirriculum was designed to be America centric, and pro-America. Any nation a boomer would remember being at war with? Not in the history books, or they appear out of nowhere, do something pro-America, and then disappear again, like Russia did from 1939 to 1945. And both World and US history classes end at 1950 because 1. to the limp dicks that actually make the policy, "The fifties are practically now" and 2. we haven't done much "being the good guys" since the jitterbug fell out of fashion.

So I'm not used to seeing something in a history textbook that isn't from at least two of my lifetimes ago.

For a summary skip to Harambe.

Global pandemic is redundant
