I was looking back at journal entries I wrote in March of last year. I predicted this passing in just a few weeks, a month or two at the most.

Damn, man.

Why did you think it would last such a short time?

I took one whole month off from work thinking it would just pass by too. I've been back to work for almost 9 months now. On the plus side, work is paying for the vaccine so I guess that's a plus.

Optimism, I guess? Or maybe ignorance regarding how serious this was? At the time I couldn't grasp things being shut down for an extended time. It had never happened in my life time, honestly didn't think it was possible for things to get like this.

Do you know when you're getting the vaccine?

Nice that you got a vacation in before the sucking started... mid-March is about right. March 11 is when the NBA season was suspended, which was the point where I knew shit was about to get real.

I'm honestly shocked that it isn't worse tbh. We got """lucky""" that this virus is fairly low on the kill rate list and that it barely hurts children at all.

Something tells me that this isn't going to be the worst pandemic we face in our lifetimes. Though with the new rna vaccine technology it might make future pandemics easier to deal with.

Everyone who wasnt a fear monger thought it would be SARS 2.0. A complete joke thats biggest impact on the world was putting more hand sanitizer stations in department stores.

Obviously that didnt end up being the case, but no one thought this would be all that serious in the early days.

If we did a draconian lockdown like China did, it might only have been a month or two.

We did that here in BC. It slowed the first wave, but didnt do all that much in the long run when the second wave hit.

Because that was just one province.

China did a nationwide lockdown.

On the other hand, people might have actually taken it seriously and we might actually have fewer dead than we do now because we'd all actually be properly locked down

I thought I'd be able to get out of this without having a quarantine birthday but sadly it wasn't to be.

At least I won't have TWO quarantine birthdays like some people.

Talking about video games? it's ok to just disagree with each other on the internet. No point getting hostile or snide about it
