unpopular opinion: Knowing in advance about the pandemic was completely useless (to me at least). I could not influence anything or "prepare" in any way.https://twitter.com/interpretantion/status/1307305216933597185 …

Knowing about it in advance was useless to me. Taking it seriously about a month before everyone else was allowed me to talk my parents out of some very high risk behaviour and anticipate and get ahead of some shop shortages

There was an argument - not so much with them as with the family members they would have been seeing - in which I was like "No do not do this you will die" and others were somewhere between "eh" and "Genie you're overselling this". Took less than a week for them to eat crow.

I'm a medical writer specializing in e.g. infectious diseases and postviral illness. I tried to talk my best friend out of highly risky behaviour, but he refused to listen, gave me COVID and never forgave me for it. It was like watching a trainwreck in slowmo, but it was my life.

Yeah this is mostly it for me but I don’t think it changed much

I'm willing to take a modest improved chance of my parents survival and not running out of toilet paper as changes worth a month of lightly increased anxiety.
