The American media is doing its best to ignore the biggest news this week.
Nope, not Covid’s fifth anniversary. You may have noticed that every legacy media outlet is reminding you it’s been exactly five years since the Little Epidemic That Could started its long chug into your lungs, or at least your upper respiratory tract.
In reality, they’re as wrong about the date as everything else Covid. People started getting sick in Wuhan in December 2019. Or was it November? Maybe even October? Whatever, the Chinese have made sure we’ll never know.
But it was March 11, 2020 when the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic - and the National Basketball Association postponed its season. You know it’s serious when the sportathons get turned off. The Dow Jones Industrial Average went down 1,200 points that day too.
Worst of all, Tom Hanks said he and his wife Rita Wilson had tested positive for Covid. Everyone’s favoritish movie star made the announcement on Instagram. His words turned out to be oddly prophetic in their matter-of-fact description of the great nonplague to follow: We felt a bit tired, like we had colds, and some body aches. Rita had some chills that came and went. Slight fevers too.
Slight fevers, you say? Better shut the world!
Anyway, here in ‘Merica, which as we all know is the only place that counted, March 11 is Covid Day (TM)! And it’s being celebrated, I mean commemorated, with articles like, “They Lost Someone to Covid. Here’s What They Learned About Grief.”
Because no one ever died before Covid. We were all immortal before March 11, 2020. How I miss those days.
But I digress.
On Wednesday morning, as American outlets festooned themselves in Covid retrospectives, two big German newspapers - Zeit and Süddeutsche Zeitung1 -broke some actual news.
Turns out in early 2020, Angela Merkel, Germany’s chancellor, took a break from her busy schedule of welcoming knife-wielding Afghan refugees to ask Germany’s intelligence agency, the BND2, to figure out Covid’s origins.

I liked him in “Bosum Buddies”.
I haven’t liked, or considered him a “favorite-ish” movie star in 3 decades.
Forget that Epstein list pedo.
This spin will never stop until even the Martians reveal that Covid came from China.
It should be referred to as the Fauci Flu.
"A classified dossier compiled by Sir Richard Dearlove, the former head of MI6, was passed to then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson at the start of the outbreak in March 2020 which stated: 'It is now beyond reasonable doubt that Covid-19 was engineered in the WIV.'" https://t.co/L48cimyB0A pic.twitter.com/u6EwCNyWtE— Richard H.
