1. I access those and remember my feelings at the time. Many receiveing those knew the implications.

Though, honestly, none of us could have predicted where we are today.

I remember well--in between the updates on Yellow Fever in Nigeria and cattle Bluetongue, this new emergent coronavirus. Had those of us monitoring holding our breaths--for good reason it turns out.

BTW, I have archived those posts. What a historical moment in time. sigh...

4. Who could have predicted this much stupid?

Though, honestly, none of us could have predicted where we are today.

That's for sure. For one thing, I would never in a million years have predicted that so many dumbasses would give the finger to the idea of getting vaccinated. I'm still astounded by that.

9. We couldn't have been more unlucky. Idiot trump was president when covid hit.

The nation never had a chance.

10. It's mind-boggling.

They refuse to get a vaccine that's 99.99999999% safe to take their chances with a virus that's orders of magnitude more dangerous. A 1.5-2% death rate is nothing to joke about and that doesn't even factor in the dangers of long COVID.

11. I've been following the anti-vaxxer movement for a while now.

I knew they were going to be a problem in all of this, but I had no idea the severity of what was going on on Facebook. The fact that they have been killing themselves by the hundreds of thousands and are doing everything they can to not take the one thing that can actually save their lives, is extremely disturbing.

12. Some here didn't take it seriously

Here is an example of such:

"I would be concerned

But I'm already dead from the last 10 bird flu pandemics I heard about."

2. That was the last time I was in my office

I remember it well and thinking to myself... I should go stock up on some essentials, canned food, water... forgot toilet paper.

and then the visuals of the chinese spraying down the streets and sidewalks in Wuhan... and I was like, yup... here we go.

3. I had seen videos

Of chinese people locked
Down. The hospital that was built in 2 days near wuhan.

Sure chilled me.

Went out to get supplies
After I saw that.

Because I listened to my intuition I had lysol spray toilet paper 4 months worth.
I got 2 huge bottles of hand sanitizer. Lysol floor cleaner and anti biotic virus killing laundry detergent and 2 packs of bleach tablets.also ordered 2 packs of the good masks and the first cloth masks I could find from amazon.

After corona came to the us,long after I got my stuff,I saw the buying panic and was thankful I got my shit when I did.

8. I'm ashamed to say I didn't take it seriously until early March 2020

I was really hoping the dire predictions were wrong.
