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...

Happy June! Aren't you glad that school is almost over? (or already is if you are in college) My last day of school is June 24th! Summer is just around the corner! I'm very sorry I haven't posted lately, and that's just because it takes a lot of time to do a blog post, and I haven't had much time lately. But I want to start June on a nice note and start blog posting again! So, here's what I did yesterday, May 31 2019: I went to Chuck E Cheese! I have not been there since Dec 12 2015! (my 12th birthday) We went to support Mom's school that she works at, and I had a semi-good time. Unfortunately, the arcade was not the best time, but also not the worst. It's just because the jackpots were very low, and the arcade only had like 20 games, and the fact that most were kid-themed games. (like Paw Patrol) I had a good time on some of the games, but like I said, the jackpots were very low (but that's only because little kids can't comprehend big jackpo...

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.

My High School Years: Episode II (9/14/18)

By
This is SEASON 1 EPISODE 2. Summary: I went to a tag sale and found a 2000s relic: A 1GB MEMORY CARD! I also went with Dad to Holyoke Mall to eat, and I also went to Holyoke Mall to get Melanie's new phone! Believe it or not, this was the last week that they sold the iPhone X; see my post about that  here . I also went to River Valley Market, and that was fun. I went to the YMCA to pick up Melanie. I went to the dentist, which was a quick 10 minutes and EASY. I also went to Kisara. Seen this episode? Check out  S1 E3 ! Updated 2/18/19.
