COVID-19: 1 YEAR SINCE THE FIRST CASE (IN THE US), 10 MONTHS INTO THE PANDEMIC... 😷

By

WOW. It's been 1 year since COVID-19 made its way to the US for the first time on January 21, 2020 from Wuhan, China. A lot has changed since then, and I am also sorry for failing to address the start of the pandemic on My High School Years (February - Mayish) as this is a very historic time we are living through.

Things that have changed in 1 year:

LIFE INDEFINITELY INTERRUPTED

MANY MORE RESTRICTIONS ON LIFE (Masks, distancing, curfews, closed businesses, etc.)

In January 2020, we thought:

"This is a small virus, it will go away"

"China will deal with this, its just another one of those viruses, like Ebola"

"It will never make it this far, we will be fine"

But, by Spring 2020, all of those thoughts were extinguished when we found out the hard truth about COVID-19, which was all of the above...

Now, in January 2021, we are thinking:

"This will be over soon, we will all get vaccinated"

"Will we get to have a normal summer?"

"Can we do things again soon?"

COVID on January 21, 2020:

US Cases: 1 (Worldwide: hundreds only) 0 Deaths

COVID on January 21, 2021:

US Cases: 25,178,628 

US Deaths: 419,793

(Worldwide: 98,032,763 cases, 2,097,743 deaths)

Vaccinations:

US: 18,449,288 (Worldwide: 56,740,891)

So, HOPEFULLY, we'll be able to do things again; hopefully by summer!

Why? Because summer 2021 is my LAST summer as a teenager; I want a #CarefreeSummer!!! #Summer2021Normality

Once I turn 18, I've got lots to deal with, so please, make it 17! #Please...

Personal note: Blogging is SO (before) 2022. Stay up to date with my content in 2023 onwards on my Instagram @tr27.official  (follow if you want to, it's up to you.) 325 followers as of 3:08PM EST, 12/31/2022. Eras aren't forever, and everything and every era must eventually come to an end, and that likely includes my time here on this site as my blogging era has come to a quiet end. However, NOTHING WILL BE DELETED. EVER. All content made on this site will remain from the past 4 years, and will remain as long as Blogger's servers remain online. If Blogger does ever shut down, ALL CONTENT HERE WILL BE ARCHIVED MULTIPLE TIMES. EVERY LINK. EVERY POST. EVERYTHING. I am strongly anti-deletion, and I shall stay that way, 2022 or 2023 or whatever year it is that you are reading this. Once posted on the internet, EVERYTHING LASTS FOREVER. AND I SUPPORT THAT. Anyways, here's my post: It's been a while since I last posted. As you can probably tell, I last posted on April 8,

IT'S DAY 3 OF MY 2019 FEBRUARY VACATION!

You're probably wondering, where's DAY 2? Well, let's just say that Day 2, was a snow day! We went nowhere! And so, Day 2 was not noteworthy for a blog post. So we're skipping Day 2 and going straight to Day 3. What happened today: (2/19/19) We had plans to go to Berkshire East. That would've been a lot of fun. However, by the time we even got to the exit for Berkshire East, it was like an hour before they closed. So we decided to do that tomorrow (2/20/19) and went to Yankee Candle instead. That was good, but it could've been better due to me almost losing my diabetes kit. (Luckily, it was in the car!) Now, I've had some good experiences with Yankee Candle in the past, especially in 2013. Now, a little flashback to Nov 30, 2013: Mom and I visited Yankee Candle on Nov 30, 2013. When we got there, it was a cold morning and we watched Santa come down from the sky. That was fun! And then, we had some good food and sweets, lots of fun, and a little Candy Crush

This is SEASON 1 EPISODE 16. Summary: It was February vacation, and I had a lot of fun and did so many things! I went to PINZ twice, Autobahn twice, (only raced once) went to Yankee Candle,  went to 110 Grill  with Julie, and went to Downtown Northampton and got lunch at VIVA pasta! I will definitely be back!
