This can't just be about deaths and ICU admissions. We're courting a tsunami of long-term disability, and unpredictable second-order effects from even mild and survivable covid infections. And "survive" does not mean "thrive."

We will remember them.

78 yrs ago, just after midnight, my uncle's RAF Pathfinder crew, left on their 31st operational sortie, to Berlin. Three hours later, hit by flak over "The Big City", they crashed. All eight were lost. Five, including my uncle, aged 22, have no known graves. #WeWillRememberThem

OTD 77 years ago, Norm Shannon and my father Marcel Dennis flew a memorable B-25 op on what they later called the #Schmidtheim raid. Brave men gone but not forgotten. https://www.thefreelibrary.com/A+TRIBUTE+TO+NORM+SHANNON%3A+Gone+but+never+forgotten-a0523560951

Shortly after D-Day in 1944, Pegasus Bridge. Location of the best coup-de-main action of #WW2. 😎 #HISTORY

Mitchell Sterlin was killed with the Royal Canadian Regiment in the fighting at Ortona in Italy #OTD in 1943. Ten days before he fought an incredible small unit action in a country villa on the approaches to Ortona which was later named ‘Sterlin Castle’.
