I'm astonished how quickly the world descended into full on totalitarianism during covid / by Mirena Rhee

I remember sitting in a Starbucks across from the Apple store on fifth avenue and they started taking the tables and chairs around me I'm like what the fuck is going on. And literally a day later screens in Chelsea started flashing the symptoms of an illness like some invisible orchestration. Every apocalyptic movie I've ever watched happened in front of my eyes and from walking on the curb because there was no space on the sidewalk I became the only one walking around in Manhattan.
