Covid 19 pandemic

Categories: Tragedy

Also called Coronavirus. The general consensus is that the pandemic originated in Wuhan, China.

A Day of Reflection was initiated 2021 by the Marie Curie charity, to be held every year on the first Sunday of March, though in 2025 some events took place on the 9th so we are now uncertain.
