Man I remember sitting in my social studies class and being scared hearing that two people got the plague in Mongolia and now everything is going back to normal with the new variant coming

I remamber my sister coming to my room and telling me we're have 2 weeks off school and I had mixed feelings and I couldn't sleep that night I stayed awake till 3 am trying to figure out when the virus will end My estimate was around April 18 BTW don't any of you miss your old self before the pandamic?

SAME

@@immortalbrolyblack2891 I know! So many people were ecstatic we were getting to stay at home from school, and I was sitting there nearly having a panic attack reading the email!

@@immortes I was scared that day remember the world War 3 thing?I panicked

The pandemic affected so many lives and economies. My cousin's business had to shut down due to lockdowns and restrictions.

I totally agree! The economic effects of Covid have been devastating. It's such a challenging time.

Yeah, it's been tough for so many industries. The vaccine rollout has been slow too, which adds to the frustration.

Thankfully, my investments in the oil sector equity have helped me stay afloat during these challenging times

That's great to hear! Investing in the oil sector has been profitable for me too.

Everybody remembered when this happened. It happened two years ago

@celly8945 "God it’s so weird watching this 3 years later" 2020 truly felt like the end. The impending end of humanity, the apocalypse, or “doomsday,” if you will. With quarantine going into effect in March of 2020, and the battle with COVID-19, natural disasters running rampant across the country, increasing economic disparity, shrinking job markets, conflicts and protests/riots were happening worldwide, and a (now former) U.S. president who wasn’t doing anything to alleviate the struggles but instead spreading false information about the deadly virus and downplaying it- 2020 felt like the end of times. It wasn’t a 2012 Mayan calendar fear this time, but something far bigger and something based in fact. The world seemed to be crumbling before us and if you turned on a television and put it on any news station, basically nothing was going right in the world. You could practically say that the pandemic is my generations 9/11 (traumatic historical events - the events that happen in our youth which, in part, shape our worldview and, in turn, shape the ways we make decisions about money, careers, family and so much more). Hell, what a year that was. I was one of the privileged ones that got affected the least by that frightful year besides my school closing down on March 13, 2020 a.k.a Friday the 13th (that should’ve been a bad omen or an ominous red flag/warning of how things would turn out lol…) before the Spring Break even started, with us maybe coming back to school after the Spring Break (this was before we knew just how bad and awful things would truly get worldwide and that we would be gone a *lot* longer than just two weeks…, two whole years to be exact…), and I remember as we were all leaving and going home, I remember I told my friend at the time that I’ll see him after the break and he just said, “Yeah” or “Alright” in a whatever kind of way, and to this very day, even after quarantine finally ended and we went back to school, I never saw him ever again…, I don’t even know if he’s still alive today… Nevertheless, like for many others, it was a reminder that nothing comes for granted. Nothing is certain. It was a reminder that we need to work on developing acceptance to things we cannot change, let them go and become comfortable with uncertainty. It was a reminder that human connection is indeed the most valuable thing that we often neglect. It was a reminder that common enemies unite us. But do we need an enemy to unite us? I am grateful and thankful that my family members and relatives never ever caught the coronavirus/Covid-19 or were killed by it. The fact that 20 became 21 didn't change much about the pandemic, but we can all use it as a point of a mindset shift. Yeah..., the pandemic really showed us all how uncertain and fragile life is. I mean..., for me personally..., so far the year 2023 has been the most "normal" year so far in the early 2020's and in this decade and I know that *really* isn't saying much at all lol... The global pandemic has finally settled down quite a bit to the point where we are able to travel places and go to huge events without having to bring masks with us (I still do wear a mask whenever I go out even though I'm not required to anymore...) and global inflation seems to have gone down as well.

Right? Here in the New Year, 2024.

It's been 4 years now

Same. This is the first time today while writing this message that this is one of the few viruses that are slightly deadly. We do not know what would be the next virus or maybe a virus hard to kill that could cause downfall to nations. Their would be one kind of a virus that are shown in movies that could be realistically possibly in the future and no one could survive that it will reduce the population down to 30% killing the rest 70%. And hopefully it will never happen.

Guilty. I remember being out writing a preview for one of the high school lacrosse teams I covered; they practiced late that night, right as Trump was speaking. The coach and I were joking about their team possibly not traveling out of state for spring break. Little did either of us know there wouldn't be a season at all. Even at that point, that Wednesday night, I don't think anyone had a real grasp of how different life would be within a week. I didn't.

I remember that! “ Covid done got Tom Hanks!”

Yeah this timeline is out of whack. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver suspended the season and Tom Hanks announced he was positive several hours before the Oval Office Address that night

Atleast we going through it now in 2023 everything is back to normal

excellent synopsis!

Really were still in it. Were learning more and more of the damage covid reinfections are doing with long covid etc. 2022 saw a lot of excess death waves and way more disability then normal. It's just that not many people want to talk about it.

@azolaun "What a very odd and scary period that was. Really seemed like a different time in life when we didn't know as much at the time. From the grocery stores be low on paper towels/toliet paper, certain foods, restaurants changing how they work, sports being done in empty arenas, people leaving work in mass, depression was really high for some people I had lost some to suicide and families/coworkers around me lost people to coronavirus. Pictures of bustling cities in the world looking so barren and empty of life such as New York as an example. Interestingly we had more people online than ever for online gaming and people buying vr headset to meet up with people. I remember vr headset being sold out constantly. I remember playing a lot of games I never played and making close friends online. It was also odd receiving money from the government that helped me start a business. Interestingly quite a few people sat around and rethought their life and started working on skills, new hobbies, deciding what matters most, leaving jobs for something better.

Not sure why all the Muricans went nuts and lost their minds. Suddenly they were all going psycho and blaming lockdown. Every other country went through lockdown and their people didn't go insane. Anyone who got depressed and went nuts over having to chill at home for a bit obviously wasn't mentally stable to begin with. They could still go to the grocery store, go for a walk or a bike ride, it wasnt that big of a deal. Go to the store, get a ton of snacks and sit at home watching movies and chillen out for a bit, not that hard. Nature started to take over again without all the human meddling. Dolphins returned to places they hadn't been in decades maybe longer, nature strived without us.

The World War of 2024 Would be way worst😤

@tracyjozefiak9931 "Its amazing I was in a freshman in high school when 9/11 happened. All those yes later I just became a mother of 3 when Covid-19 hit.

So many bad things happen in the world and all we can do is pick the peices and keep going. We as human beings are strong and we can live and triumph threw the worst of times. I just hope and pray that in my grandchildrens generation and the generations to come won't have to go threw what we all did. God bless!! ❤🙏✝" Yeah, for me personally, I was born in 2005, 4 years after 9/11.

I don't want the new generation to go through this either cause families ain't families no more

⁠@@whattheworldneedsiscreativ6421I don’t think it was as bad.

@@amazoring8269you’re crazy as hell of course it was. In some countries the unalived bodies were piling up on the streets

@@jrmetmoi Think of the plague, and the flu. Gets way more people per year. Not talked about as much. 9/11 had a long lasting impact that will last for history. Covid-19 is just a new one of the diseases, but with the modern social medias reaction.

Was March 1st for me. Which is weird. Means it was REALLY early and I'm not in any huge travel cities or anything. So, I didn't think it was anything but a sore throat when I took my bf out for his bday lunch. Then the next day I felt so much worse and was like "must be strep".. then lost my taste and smell. I still wasn't thinking it was that dang virus, because again I'm not in any large cities. Plus they hadn't released the list of symptoms yet. I just though it was weird and my nose being clogged must be the reason I lost them. Then there was also the fact that I am in kidney failure. So I figured it would've hit harder than that for me, possibly klld me. And it was really baaad. but not hospital bad. It wasn't until the last day or two I had it that I found out that the loss of taste and smell were telltale symptoms. I SOBBED yelling about how I had taken him to lunch and a movie and probably infected people. He tried to comfort me reminding me there was no way I could've possibly known. But.. I still to this day worry if I had touched anything and infected someone. We still don't know where I even caught it

Oh really. What were y'all's symptoms?

@herroyalsquirrelness8167 Give me a break! Because it was reported loss of taste as a side effect you decided you had corona. Very professional.

Literally. Never will forget

Never forget 2019-2020.

I was in the uk and they were still fiddling with their shoelaces on march 11th, we didn't lockdown until late march, which meant it went on for longer as we had to wait for all the death to slow down. Yeah, uk didn't do a very good job of looking after its people back then (or now, to be fair)

Crazy how nostalgic it is now. I was watching it from tv how school and universities were closing.

@@aldelvex234 I don't think nostalgic is the right word. For me, nostalgic is something that happened more than 5 years ago, but it really depends on how old you are. I mean, I was in high school then and I am still in high school now, so nothing really changed for me honestly. I might feel differently in 2-3 years, but I don't feel nostalgic about it right now.

Yup, it was like a scene from the walking dead or something. Strange times.

It's over now mate move on.

Also I believe it arrived in the US in 2019 around fall because I remember reading everyone on my Facebook posting about being sick and having respiratory issues but Doctors said they couldn't find anything wrong. Remember feeling ill in November of 2019 when I rarely got sick up until than in my life. I'm 35yrs old.. I've been more sick over the years than I was before covid hit.

Your comment is the type of thing that needs to be documented for the archives

I was pregnant too in 2020 during the Covid pandemic and my son is 3 years old now.

Some people lost loves ones, fathers, mothers friends and colleagues, I'll take not having a prom over not having my parents around.

@@JuaniPodrido For real. Prom is overrated as hell, but that might be my social anxiety talking. And I agree, losing a father would be devastating.

Your parents picked the wrong time to conceive

I was in 6th grade when Covid hit. And my school was already on Spring break, we were supposed to go back on the 15th, but in March 13th they sent out that email, and that two extra weeks became over a year. I had yet to return to my school until August 2021.

Covid broke out just 4 days before my birthday. 🙁

Damn that's a selfish take. Nevermind all the people who died in the hospital lobby. All the people nurses who committed suicd or left the profession because of how terrible it was

I'am very sorry. Are you doing okay right now?

I hope u are doing ok. It’s a shame we didn’t take this more seriously. More people died in the US of this disease than any other country. That’s not random. It’s because people refused to quarantine.

It's a respiratory virus!

Lies.

Since when did Tom Hanks play Basketball??

How tho?

The vaccines 💉?

No it didn’t don’t lie

You are WRONG. Things were great then. There were 0 Active Covid cases in January 2022

​@@danhobson24 can confirm that covid isn't over. The only part that has ended is the measures part of it.

Very Sad

Agreed

There's more

PCR test and quarantine for 2 weeks.

In what way?

Thursday March 26, 2020 was REALLY the Day When the Covid Pandemic started. Get your Facts Straight. Please know that what I just said here is right.

@@danhobson24 Actually, that was the day when our nation became the global epicenter of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

@@jeddkoog9676 you are correct on that but I am also right as well in my reply. I was pointing out that your initial comment that you made 9 months ago was wrong. You got the date wrong in your initial comment here.

It was like a nightmare and i'm so glad it's over

it was the absolute worst for me

March 2020- June 2020 was a lockdown that had 60% of Americans housebound.

Yes ! My wife and 3 children are alive today because of the vaccine . Humanity dodged a Mass Exrinction event , thanks to the vaccine ! One wonders how humans existed for hundreds of thousands of years prior to vaccine production 🤷‍♂️ But I don’t ask questions , I just follow instructions … and thank goodness for that 🫡 I’m alive !
