I remember watching it online, the spread I mean. I was listening to the stories and watchign teh videos coming out of China. Then I found a map, and watched the first two cases in the Northwest US... Then one more, and another.

I started stocking up on yes, toilet paper, bird food, water, food, everything I'd need for a long term isolation event. I was called a fear-mongerer. I remember going back to the peopel that called me that, and asking them how their toilet paper situation was, when it was so hard to find. I had stocked up on N95 masks but donated those to some nurses that couldn't find any at all for their jobs.


I was very sick late 2018, early 2019. I had to sleep sitting up and it was so hard to breathe. Honestly, it was like COVID. I wonder if the virus hadn't made a circle around the globe unnoticed in 2018-20019, being mistaken for the flu.

Right now, I'm watching the Bird flu, looking for signs of it spreading further to humans, and from human to human. I'm not stocking up, well I am, but that's because it's hurricane season... But I am watching it all the same.


It's so strange to see the old posts, from the beginnings of the COVID pandemic.
