Coronavirus Thread: Worldwide Pandemic

[mastermind]

I haven't been to DC since last March when the org I work for mandated remote work so I don't know what it's like over there, but up here in Howard County, supermarkets are as crowded as they were pre-covid. Costco, Wholefoods, Wegman's, all crowded as hell. People not really paying attention to social distancing or any of that sort. Luckily everyone is still wearing masks. We're not as crowded in the county vs Baltimore, Montgomery, or PG, so I can imagine how those places must be.

TBF, people in DC have taken this seriously.

The problem is the vaccination website was stupid and made it hard for people to sign up.

I’m reading the posts from January and February 2020

If I remember correctly around March is when a couple idiots were spamming "it's just a flu", which then turned into "black people can't get it" posts

I knew this shyt was going to be a problem when I saw the videos citizens posted in China of the dirt/walls blocking roads. I just didn't know how bad Trump would wreck the country. His incompetent leadership and conspiracy theories were next level crazy

I remember how press was just treating it like a 60 sec segment in news.
Then it got to WA and CA, and everything started to spiral.

This was the week last year where we all left the office for good, as we were to do a 'trial run' that turned into a permanent fixture. No one I know has died from it, at least close, but it feels like I was born into another life as I miss the open aspect.

I myself took it for granted, I didn't expect all this weird shyt the virus could do.

I been in Bowie and Laurel like 90% of the time since last March. Job in DC still remote. No timetable right now for office reopening.

I was in DC yesterday. Hit up one of my friends who I hadn’t seen in a year.

City looks frozen in time. Traffic has picked up but not terrible. Downtown still is pretty empty.

Union Market, U Street, 14th Street all looked pretty active but nothing wild.

I realized it was serious when I saw this video, February 8th, 2020.

Video appears to show people in China forcibly taken for quarantine over coronavirus

Stuffed him into a file cabinet and drove off

Societal collapse

The first time I heard about coronavirus was in Costa Rica for my honeymoon in January of 2020. It looked wild, but it still felt a whole world away.

Was looking at the Maryland covid map and I just had to shake my head at Hagerstown having the most covid cases in the state.

I got it and had no issues besides a sore arm for a couple of hours.

NVM the joke. But basically we'll be in the 90% range after 6 weeks

Yeah I remember seeing that chart.

The fact that this is the chart for the Johnson & Johnson vaccine takes the joke to a whole nother level.
