Jan 2020 club checking in :-) I remember joking about a big pandemic being around the corner at my families New Year's party. Back then it was a few vague rumors from Chinese doctors that I was keeping an eye on but not taking seriously yet.

It's been crazy how much "always been at war with Eastasia/Eurasia" I've seen people around me engage in.
