Podcast Summary
Three-year anniversary of WHO's pandemic declaration: WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic three years ago, leading to widespread changes and over 1.1 million US deaths, while investigations into Trump's business dealings continue, and five men were handed over in a kidnapping case.
Three years ago today, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus a global pandemic, marking a significant turning point in history. This announcement led to numerous changes in people's lives, including widespread school closures, remote work, and the deaths of over 1.1 million people in the US with thousands more dealing with long-term health effects. Another significant development was former President Donald Trump's invitation to testify before a grand jury in New York regarding his role in hush money payments during his 2016 campaign. This move indicates that the investigation into Trump's business dealings may be nearing its end. Additionally, five men were handed over by a Mexican cartel in connection to recent kidnappings, but it's unclear if they are actually responsible for the crimes. These events serve as reminders of the ongoing challenges and uncertainties that have shaped our world over the past three years.
