The idiom “waste not, want not” can be interpreted as if you use something wisely or completely, then you will be less likely to find yourself in need of anything. There are many theories as to the origin of this phrase, but some believe it has been around since the late 1700s. I was accustomed to hearing this idiom from my parents and grandparents. My parents were born during the depression and my grandparents lived through these hard times. My maternal grandma truly wasted nothing and she taught me how to get the most out of just about everything. So, you might wonder why I am writing about waste and want? Well, I learned something new about SARS-CoV-2 this week that has me intrigued.
