COVID-19 lockdown was 5 years ago. What do you remember about that day when the world stopped?

It was like nothing in my previous life experience.
Years ago my grandmother had told me about living through the 1918 influenza pandemic and how frightening that had been.
I worried, but never had I imagined people would be so ridiculous about simply wearing masks, and once they became available, receiving vaccines.
I almost lost my middle sister, who contracted Covid before a vaccine was available and had to be hospitalized. I did lose a couple of relatives who refused to be vaccinated.
To date, I have been vaccinated and I haven’t yet gotten Covid. But I do realize that the latter has just been luck.

@bijouxbroussard The influenza pandemic of more than a century ago struck Australia in 1919,and back in the mid-'60s when I was around 17,I recall my grandmother mentioning to me having to wear face-masks back then.An extra concern for my grandparents at that time would have been that they were expecting their first child then - my mother - who was born at the end of 1919.
