2020-21 Covid Chronicles | Post-2020 Reflection | APR 2020 (Two Weeks?)

Two Weeks to Indefinite

When they said it was going to be a two-week lockdown, Covid laughed in the governments' faces.

The weekly cases and deaths rose at such a rapid pace that there was nothing to laugh about. The reality of cabin fever spread across the world, while streaming service expanded their viewing options. April was the month of, "What the actual f*ck?".

There were so many fingers point at China that there was barely any time to really think about how to properly react. While the northern hemisphere was in panic mode, the southern hemisphere closed its borders. It was like watching an apocalypse unfold before our eyes. Panic buying is still the most fascinating concept to me. The toilet paper hoarding (for no good reason); then the meat pile stocking (again...it's perishable...so, why?); and eventually, the sad pictures of the elderly in front of empty shelves. The escalation was quick and entertaining, but depressing to watch.

Who knew it would just be the beginning of seeing human selfishness?
