While the Fake news media (aka Fox) has reported that the pandemic originated in China, new startling evidence has been uncovered pinpointing the actual date of the first recorded death in the Spring of 1967.
The story mixes science and mystery; intrigue worthy of an Erik Larson novel. It seems that on June 3rd in 1966, one year prior to the Covid-related death, the body of Billy Joe MacAllister was found floating beneath the Tallahatchie Bridge. Initial investigation hypothesized that Billy Joe jumped of his own free will. But that changed when neighbors reported strange behavior from “Sister.” Police suspected foul play and refocused the investigation on finding out why Sister spent almost an entire year on Choctaw Ridge, suspiciously dropping flowers into the muddy waters off the Tallahatchie Bridge. Nothing was ever proven and charges were never filed.
Fast forward from Billy Joe’s untimely death to one year later when another series of ominous events had taken place, Aside from Sister’s strange behavior, Brother married Becky Thompson and bought a store in Tupelo. At the same time there was a virus going ’round, Papa caught it and he died last spring. The virus, identified through modern DNA testing was, in fact, Covid. Beyond a shadow of a doubt Papa was the first recorded death by the Covid virus. Mama may have also contracted the virus even though she did not display common symptoms. Concerning to Virologists was her uncharacteristic behavior as Mama didn’t seem to want to do anything. Mama, however, has been seen keeping company with that nice, young preacher Brother Taylor who has been a frequent dinner guest since Papa died.
