We didn’t have expert intelligence reports being delivered to us. It wasn’t until March that I realized it was worse than the flu here in the US. Those first two weeks of March, shit got real. I had been trying to understand the numbers and what they meant in the second half of February.
I attended a wedding on February 29, and had a fairly intense discussion with a cousin where I took the position that Covid was serious, but only about as bad as the flu. She was in full blown pandemic belief, but interestingly, was at a crowded wedding without a mask. I don’t think there were confirmed US cases yet at that time, but I was convinced it had breached the borders.
My office closed Mid-March, and I bought a better computer monitor the first week of March, so I knew it was real then.
I am going to pick a date and say that I knew it was real on March 10, 2020.
