Title says it all; saw many people selling fake vaccination cards just as they would sell fake IDs, etc.

It was weird to me to watch my parents working from home, not allowed to return to their office workspace, even today - two years later. I feel like this puts a lot of strain on the work/home relationship, especially since my dads office is less than 20 feet from his room. I cant imagine every day just going back and forth between rooms hardly leaving the house, for two years and who knows how much longer.

Ok, so my sister was studying abroad in France (she is graduating from ASU this fall!) when everything went crazy and countries started locking down (it was a Thursday, I remember). She had a plane ticket to London to see a friend on Friday and had to pack literally everything she could up in one day from her apartment, get on that flight to London, and come straight back to the US. The US locked down flights from all countries the day after she got back. She loves travelling and was going to travel all over Europe after she finished her studying abroad and we were gonna go with her. She was very depressed when she got back.

When the pandemic was at its peak, many people I knew decided they were stronger than COVID-19 and thought that wearing masks would not help them in any way. Coincidentally, they all got the virus, and some were even hospitalized. They all quietly started wearing masks only after it affected them.

I personally didn't experience anything absurd, but the condition of daily wage workers was pretty sad to watch. Thousands of daily wage worker lost their jobs and they had to go back to their hometowns and villages as they couldnt afford to live in the capital. To add to this, public buses nor trains were functioning so people decided to walk for hundreds and hundreds of miles with their children in 45c heat of central india which ended up killing  a bunch of those people by heat exhaustion & starvation rather  than by covid.

So my grandmother does not live in the United States; she lives with my mother's brother and his wife (not a US citizen, but has a VISA). During the pandemic, she was emotionally and verbally abused by these people. We had to book flight tickets for her and slowly move her stuff to another house. She literally left for the airport at night in order not to get caught. It's really sad how domestic violence/abuse rose tenfold during the pandemic, and these people were probably not as lucky as my grandmother.

There was a major surge of prejudice and racism towards Asians and Asian Americans, especially East Asians. So many people were violently attacking them, blaming them for the origin of the virus. I remember reading stories of elderly Asians in San Francisco having to wear sunglasses and hats all the time to cover up their facial features

I suppose the one thing that I saw was slightly horrific was just the piles of bodies in other countries with inadequate health care systems to handle it.
Not only that but smelling the huge shipping containers filled with bodies was gross at times near my neighborhood.

I once went into Walmart towards the beginning of the pandemic and there was nothing on the shelves--no water, no alcohol, no pasta, no food. There were a couple things here and there but the store was practically empty. Felt like something out of a dystopian novel

The most absurd situation I experienced was when I went to get 20 hand sanitizers from bath and body works.

I saw on the news the story of this doctor who died after taking medication for horses despite CDC guidelines against it. He would prescribe the same medication to his patients as "cure" for Covid

The day after I graduated, the governor banned schools imposing mask mandates, meaning kids who didn't wear masks began making fun of those who continued to wear masks. Many kids couldn't even get vaccinated at the time

People hoarded hand sanitizer and toilet paper; basically all stores were sold out of their medical supplies. I just remember huge lines coming out of Costco and eventually they had to limit the amount of rolls each family bought

At Panda Express with my friend, 2 girls came in without masks and the employee politely asked them to put one on. They got defensive and eventually screamed "F YOU" to the employee while flipping them off. I asked them why it was so hard to be respectful and she whined at me and made a face and left.

That Indigenous populations were often the hardest hit by the pandemic, with infection rates comparable to larger urban areas such as New York and Florida. Many reservations were applying for states of emergency due to lack of resources and hospital capacity.

No matter how much I try to think of all the things that could have happened with COVID. The toilet paper hoarding is just so ridiculous to me!
