Now that all of the mask required and social distancing signs are pretty much gone there will be little record of that aspect of the pandemic.
I wish I took more photos
there will be little record
Did you use any form of social media in the last 3 years?
People forgot about the similar pandemic in 1919 or so. Everything repeated, including the anti-vaxxers.
So yes it will happen again and again. As will war, and everything else shit yet inherent in human nature.
I saw pictures of everyone wearing masks during the 1919 pandemic. And that was before everyone had cameras in their pockets. OP is exaggerating, people aren’t going to forget about it.
I worked for a company that started manufacturing masks (the N95 ones) during the pandemic and we still make and sell masks. I won’t be forgetting since I still work on the machines.
It was in the news daily and one of maybe 5 main topics of discussion for like 3 solid years. I’m good lol.
I think we have plenty of record of what it was like. Between that and social media not too sure what you mean.
People will forget - like we eventually forget about everything - but the information doesn’t have to disappear from the internet.
Have a website, blog, etc? Write about your experience, what you saw other people doing, the reactions, what politicians did, what you felt, etc. Archive the pages on the usual archival sites, so something lives on even after you die.
Just like some people went back to read what the newspapers wrote about the “Spanish” flu 100 years ago, someone is likely to get back to what we wrote/filmed/saved during this pandemic.
Facebook’s shitty search ability, retribution against reddit, photobucket’s apocalypse, dozens of site rebrandings, and the death of hundreds of other popular sites has proven posts on the internet are as temporary as paper. It only lasts if someone properly archives it, just as was the case with those 1919 newspaper articles.
I have some bad news about the rest of human history…
Covid24 will remind us all
Bingo!
I did this, in fact. I took photos of every Covid and mask related sign I saw in 2020 and 2021.
Here in the Bahamas, they never bothered taking them down.
