Today 3 years ago, the first official COVID outbreak came out

I remember the rumblings early February. Ordered a bunch of those cool black Masks. It was taking the slow boat from China so it would take time but would be in time. The order was cancelled and we got the first line of BS from the "Health Experts", "you don't need a Mask, its okay". Only emergency personnel needed it. Contradiction, but could understand the high demand would short supply those with the highest exposure.
We had small supply of the funky n95 masks used during severe Forrest Fires before Covid.
And the rest is History.

Unpopular opinion, but while the pandemic itself was horrible, I genuinely miss lockdown and some of what it entailed. Namely peace and quiet.
I never got to work from home myself, but as many others did, my life improved dramatically for a short while. The quiet streets were bliss and so was the general lack of crowds. I could be at the office within 20 minutes, as there was no morning rush hour anymore. I could pop to the shops after work and hardly anybody would be there since so many could suddenly get their shopping done during the day and were taking full advantage of that fact.
Now it takes me an hour and a half every morning and evening to drive to work and back again. I waste more than two hours of my life every single day, senselessly stuck in traffic. In a year, I'll have wasted 520 hours of my life in this fashion. It's depressing.
It's also kind of funny how nobody at the office was sick for two years with the exception of those who caught covid... Now everyone is sick all the time, because people have resumed coming to work when sick. I'd hoped that we'd gotten over the part where we share illnesses like birthday cake, but no, back to the good old days.
