  • Warnings of a pneumonia outbreak in Wuhan, China, began quietly in December 2019. Over the weeks and months that followed, more information about this new form of coronavirus spread across the globe. For many Americans, however, the reality of the pandemic did not set in until March 11, 2020, when a confluence of major developments converged to cause a major shift in our way of life. One year later, Yahoo News has compiled an oral history of the events that ushered in “the new normal.”

      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.

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.

    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. The covid era is something I'll never forget

      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.

      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..

    The week of March 11-18 here in northern New Hampshire is what I call the twilight of normalcy. Nobody was wearing mask or social distancing, things were still open, but there was a general sense of fear, toilet paper was gone, store shelves were picked dry. People were trying to enjoy their last few days before things closed down. Between March 18 and 20, things closed down here one by one and then the worst time period of my life began, at first it wasn't that bad, first three weeks I was able to relax and work on art, catch up on reading. Then by late April 2020 I was miserable. 2020 and 2021 were absolutely miserable for me.

    I remember Jan/Feb 2020 I was joking with my classmates, friends, and just about anyone really about the pandemic and the WW3 draft. A week before I heard rumors of someone at another local high school getting covid, and we discussed how much it would take to close school. 'Course, I thought it was farfetched that they would stop school entirely for a few dozen sick inviduals, so while I joked about school closing in the locker rooms, I never thought they were seriously gonna close it. The day everything shut down, (March 13th) I was walking in the hallways during lunch because I never really liked to be in the cafeteria during 9th grade. While I was in a corner, I overheard two people on the staircase above me mention how they officially closed school for "2 weeks". I immediately grabbed my phone and texted my Dad about it. Then, after lunch I went back to Algebra class, and he gave the class a packet to do while we were on Covid Break because the SOL's (Final exam) were coming. I wasn't planning on doing that packet anyways, and good thing too because I never saw him after that day and I was so glad too.

Day of arrival in Seattle, Plane was packed.. day coming back, I was laying down wherever I wanted...Washington was ahead of it like they knew what was going on with distancing and sanitizing everything anyone was touching. Reason for my comment is because you look this up, says March 15th which is a lie.. I came back on a plane after the first announced case from covid-19 in the US when mentioned in 2020 of February/March. Landed March 8th, March 11th the world really shut down.

    I remember I was in my first year of college, on what I think was a Thursday, a few days before what was supposed to be our mid term break. At that point, one student caught covid from Italy, an elderly woman was the first to die from COVID, and there was word that Taoiseach Leo Varadkar was going to declare a lockdown from DC as he was visiting for the annual St. Patricks Day. The day was kind of going the way I expected before a midterm, though the excuse changed since people wanted to visit family or wanted to get ready to move back before the lockdown started. Me, I was skeptical, less and less people were going to the lectures. Then, my final lecture in Astrophysics came at 3pm and there was only 8 out of 55 attending. The lecturer came in, announced that there were no more lectured and that the state was going into lockdown the next day. Me and the remaining students stayed back for a few to chat before we went to a pub to what would be the very last time we hung out. I haven't seen them, nor did I ever find out their socials.
    The next day was the first day of "2 weeks to slow the spread".

We had everything we needed. Just went out to see how crazy people were acting. Strange times. I will say as of this date there are whispers of a new virus, but we shall see. I wouldn't doubt it, this time it will be worse, there will be no money from government, more dead, tighter control, and there is an election coming. Sounds about right.

I got a text from my coworker saying that our job was shutting down, a few days later, my city went into lockdown and the curfew mandate was put in place. If you were out after 8 PM, you’d be subject to arrest unless you have papers to prove you you were traveling for work. This was even before the news media coined COVID-19, it was called coronavirus.
