Intelligence reports from preppers around the world.

1. What are you seeing that affects your prepping? Post should be based on something you're actually seeing / experiencing locally. If it is outside of your area / is speculation, prepare to have current and substantial evidence such as multiple and neutral links as to not have the content removed.

2. Post title must have a general description, location / region plus flair. We're not asking or wanting exact locations, just a general idea of where you're talking about in the beginning of the title. It greatly helps people read / filter posts.

3. If your post isn't from your own eyes but affects you, it is encouraged to have evidence. (Links) Recent and up to date links, benefit all and help others understand and contribute to your post.

4. Unconstructive comments may lead to removals or bans. We are here to gather intel, not hate. This includes personal attacks, name calling, pushing politics, religion, racism, sexism, condoning / avocation of violence, trolling, ill will towards others and so on.

5. If you feel that the intel is wrong, link your own recent and relevant intel on the direct subject. If you feel the need to argue back, calmly do so with recent and relevant evidence on the subject. We do not care who you are, or which side you're on, we seek truth and transparency through sheer informational evidence.

If your view isn't backed up, (and at this point likely causing an issue) it may be subject to removal.

User may have a chance to research and find intel to restore their comment after contacting a moderator... Don't make a habit of this.

5 years ago this month, COVID-19 was designated a worldwide pandemic. How did your life chance then, and how has that carried forward 5 years later? (lemmy.world)

For me, my job has been hybrid for 20 years. So, WFH some, and in the office some. We were told on Thursday, March 12th to prepare to WFH full time for the next 2 weeks. Little did I know that Sunday, March 15th would be the last time I would be leaving my house for months, at least not in any meaningful way.

The evening of Monday, March 16th, the Governor of my state issued a state wide lockdown of non-essential business, to go into effect at 5 PM Tuesday the 17th. I can’t recall what the timeline was for how long that was supposed to last, but it ended up being almost 2 months before business like restaurants had figured out how to be open for takeout only. It was almost a full year in my town before things were back to the “new normal”.

We’re still full time WFH, and there’s no going back to the office for me. They sold the building, so there’s no where to go.

Life has never fully gone back to the way it was prior to that, and it probably never will. That’s a scar that will just never heal.

On a weird personal note, I was notified on March 18th, 2020 that my divorce from my toxic ex wife was finalized. Didn’t get to celebrate for like 6 months lol.

wow, this is what happened to me in January 2020 almost exactly. those friends that made fun of me and called me a doomsday prepper ended up apologizing come March, but they’re no longer in my life. while the covid comments weren’t the reason, i definitely am glad i’m not around them with everything that’s happening now. the gaslighting of “everything’s fine, you’re overreacting” was shitty 5 years ago, i can’t even imagine it now
