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.

Covid24 will remind us all

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 have some bad news about the rest of human history…

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.

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.

there will be little record

Did you use any form of social media in the last 3 years?

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.

Not at all. You still see “mask required” signs that just haven’t been taken down. There’s wedding pictures. Every professional photographer was taking masked photos because for a year or two, many companies would only publish masked photos in certain contexts… They will find the pictures for the history books.
