February 19 I got the email that the library and bookstore were closing immediately. I was about 3 weeks back from a cruise at the time. - Meg Jan 30, 11:52
I notice it all the time. -- nm - loosilu Jan 30, 11:42
My FB memories are like movie where the people keep dancing unaware of the bomb..or iceberg..Jan 20th was first recognized death here. 3/11 shutdown -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 30, 11:05 3
- Jan 20 was the first positive test. -- nm - loosilu Jan 30, 12:10
- Actually I think Feb 29 was the first known North American death (at the time), at a nursing home in Kirkland IIRC -- nm* - Beryllium Jan 30, 11:46
- Seattle was definitely where the media focused as "ground zero" for first case spread (tho in hindsight it was probably everywhere in smaller numbers) - hollywood big shot Jan 30, 11:11
I keep thinking it started in 2019 -- nm - Krusty Jan 30, 10:51 2
- technically it did in China -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 30, 10:52 1
  - Hence the 19 in Covid-19. -- nm - Andie Jan 30, 10:54
I don't even understand the premise of the question - are there people who forget spring/summer 2020 already? -- nm - rollo Jan 30, 10:51 8
- on Last of Us, Joel tells Ellie about the weekend the apocalypse started 20 years ago and he still remembers the day and date. feels more amorphous - hollywood big shot Jan 30, 10:54 7
  - Well, since by Monday everything was gone, it makes sense. -- nm - Spawn Jan 30, 11:28
  - I would think it was more February. I remember it hit NC the week of my birthday which is March 6. It had been in NY and PNW/CA longer. - sycor Jan 30, 10:57 5
    - i was vaguely anxious about it when first back to the office after the holidays in Jan 20, only b/c we have AA employees who had been traveling to - hollywood big shot Jan 30, 11:03 4
      - I was anxious when we traveled in January 2020 - thought of bringing masks, but didn't. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jan 30, 11:25 3
        
        i ordered a whole bunch of hand sanitizer for the office in Jan 2020. Not long after, it became impossible to find. -- nm - Andie Jan 30, 11:28 2
        
        oh, and my mom left for a 15 day cruise in early-mid-March, and i was shocked she was going. When she came back the world had shut down. -- nm* - Andie Jan 30, 11:29 1
        
        An old theater acquaintance of mine was performing on a cruise ship and was stuck off the coast of Chile for three weeks, iirc. -- nm - znufrii Jan 30, 12:11
Yes. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 30, 10:48
Of course. -- nm - Qale Jan 30, 10:28
the last 2 years have been a blur -- nm - Beaker Jan 30, 10:22 1
- remember when it started and that fuckhead was still president for almost a whole more year? -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 30, 10:25
When I think of it, Spring 2020-Summer/Fall 2021 is "pandemic time", the rest of 2021 is just sort of lost? 2022 is "normal" in my mind. -- nm - MDH Jan 30, 10:22 5
- 2022 didn't really start out 'normal' but my spring/summer it was acting normal again. - ty97 Jan 30, 10:24 2
  - Wait that's 2021 I'm remember. - ty97 Jan 30, 10:24 1
    - I hear you. Your way of describing it is better. 2021 is a blur to me, 2022 I remember fully. -- nm - MDH Jan 30, 10:25
- I’ve been back in our offices since May 2021, still nothing normal about it -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 30, 10:23 1
  - It's just my opinion. And there's a "new normal" which I personally feel like started in 2022. -- nm - MDH Jan 30, 10:24
Lost my job, so yanno -- nm - con_carne Jan 30, 10:20
Pretty much. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 30, 10:16
Very much so. I was out and about eating lunch when Gov Murphy on tv announced he was shutting down NJ. -- nm - Jovian Jan 30, 10:12 1
- and that previous weekend we had what would be last gigantic Family Party for quite awhile. -- nm - Jovian Jan 30, 10:13
10 out of 10 because of work -- nm - The Allfather Jan 30, 10:11 3
- Rudy Gobert? -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 30, 10:17 2
  - Sadly, I've probably mentioned him the most of any non-NBA writer. - David Jan 30, 11:04 1
    - And we were at Token Tavern the night Gobert happened and Hanks was revealed to have COVID-19. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jan 30, 11:21
It wouldn’t occur to me unless it was somehow relevant by context of what I was doing/reading at that moment. -- nm - znufrii Jan 30, 10:10 2
- like the first chyron in Glass Onion is something like “May 25, 2020” which was obviously intentional but to me not like if he put Sept 10, 2001 -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 30, 10:14 1
  - Which only made sense to me in the context of the beginning of the movie. -- (edited) - znufrii Jan 30, 10:54
