Alabama State Health Officer Dr. Scott Harris talked with Alabama News Network about the state’s first recorded case of COVID-19 on March 13, 2020, and what has happened in the two years since.
“It was kind of a surreal time,” he said. “It just felt like we knew something was happening, but we didn’t know what it was. We didn’t have information, and really worst of all, we didn’t have treatments or therapy for anybody. It was a pretty scary time, to be honest.” “It’s absolutely true, and it’s miraculous that we got a vaccine for this disease in a year. But remember, the building blocks for that process have been around for a long time.”
“A big lesson that we should have known maybe, but you know I had to learn, is just the extent that misinformation gets spread out there. You know, we sort of naively thought, ‘Well, we’ll just show people what the science is and that will solve all of the arguments and that will answer everyone’s questions.’ Well, clearly that was a dumb thing for us to think.”
