We asked for your first Covid text messages. These are your stories
The pandemic is สมัครสมาชิกสล็อต the biggest global story in generations, but a year ago as borders were closing we did not know how
it would unfold. We asked readers to share and talk about their first text messages about the virus.
Last March, the US watched as the virus spread around the world.
Within weeks of the first recorded case in the US, the World Health Organization had declared it a pandemic, borders were closed,
and millions started losing their jobs.
Five people look back at the first time "coronavirus" appeared in their text messages - and what they wished they had known back then.
24 JANUARY: 'And suddenly, my senior year was obliterated'
As January rolled to a close, the country was wrapped up in its own political drama - the Democratic primaries. And Austin Wu,
then a senior at the University of Iowa, was right in the thick of it.
In his free time, he was knocking on doors for Bernie Sanders and enjoying Friday beers at the local bar with friends. Like most Iowans
around the time of the caucus - which determines who will run for president in each party - politicians were visiting campus daily to court
students to back their politicians.
Just three days after the US announced its first case of the virus, Austin was going to see Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-
Cortez campaign for Bernie Sanders.
"She spoke in a packed music hall full of 600 students," he said, admitting that it seems strange looking back on the event now knowing
the virus was already in the country. |
