When Did Covid Hit California? A Tale of Woe and Toilet Paper
So, you wanna know when Covid decided to throw a party in California, huh? Well, buckle up, because this is a story of epic proportions.
The Golden State Goes Gray
It all started innocently enough. January 26, 2020 - a date that will forever be etched in the minds of Californians as the day the music died...or at least, the parties did. That’s when the first case was confirmed. A man in his 50s, probably thought he was getting a spicy new cold, but nope, it was just Covid warming up.
Soon after, things got real. Schools closed, offices turned into ghost towns, and everyone became an expert in sourdough bread making. Remember those days when you could actually find toilet paper? Pepper your dreams with those memories, because they're as distant as a Kardashian with a brain.
The Great Mask Debate
Masks became the new accessory, more stylish than a Birkin bag. We had everything from surgical blues to leopard print. People started looking like bank robbers, but hey, it was fashion, right? Or at least, it was supposed to be.
Remember the great mask debate? Cloth or surgical? N95 or KN95? People were more divided than ever, and it was all because of a tiny virus. We even had those "maskholes" who thought they were above it all. rolls eyes
California Dreaming of Normalcy
Fast forward to now, and things are...kinda back to normal. Kinda. We still have those lingering coughs and the occasional panic attack when someone sneezes near us. But hey, we’re learning to live with it, one Zoom meeting and takeout order at a time.
So, to sum it up: Covid hit California on January 26, 2020, and it was a wild ride. We survived, we thrived (kinda), and we learned a lot about ourselves and our neighbors. And hey, at least we have some pretty epic stories to tell our grandkids.
