Viral: Explaining the Pandemic to my Past Self [VIDEO]
If you could go back in time to January 2020, how would you explain the coronavirus pandemic to yourself? This video, while funny, is so spot on.
Back in January, we were concerned with the Australian wildfires, LSU Football, and Mardi Gras. Who would have known that just four months later we would have wished we had already adopted a companion animal, backed our money out of the stock market, except Zoom, taken a little bit better care of ourselves, found a hobby and stocked up on toilet paper and cleaning products.
"Julie" even references our obsession with all things Tiger King... a phenomena I can only explain by assuming that we've been really, really bored.
So, what would happen if you tried to explain what’s happening now to the January 2020 version of yourself? Would you believe the warnings? I don't think anyone of us could even imagine how drastically our lives have changed in a few short months. I guess we'll have to wait and see what the future brings and ride this out, hopefully, with our health intact.
