Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I remember I was at my uni library and I learned from a tweet of the health ministry that schools and unis are shutdown for the foreseeable future. I immediately went home early.

I remember telling my siblings "Meh this will probably last a week or so". lol in hindsight.

I think I was in a college lecture when we were told that we were going to be remote for the last few weeks of our course.

I remember hearing about COVID for the first time a lot more clearly though, I was volunteering in a charity shop and the two managers were chatting about how the couple who ran the flower shop down the road just brought it back with them from their trip to china. I told my mum that it might be worth buying some hand sanitiser and she said "I'll worry about it when it gets to the village" safe to say it got to the village pretty soon after that.
