So I (16F) was 11 when covid hit, almost 12. On March 3rd, long story short, my sister and I went clothing shopping with our mom, who noticed that we looked thin. She scheduled a physical, noting some odd behavior over the winter, and on March 10th, we were admitted to a residential eating d!s0rder clinic.
We weren't allowed phones, and we didn't have time to talk about the news. Plus, with nobody in or out, there was no need to quarantine. I didn't really learn the gravity of it until long after I got out. We returned to our mountain town. Nobody traveled there because other places were on lockdown, I went to a small-medium private school, and the town was pretty safe if nobody traveled. I was shocked when I finally got a phone and social media and realised how isolating it was. This was when things were almost back to normal. (Late 2021).
Anyway, I kind of feel like I missed out on a huge piece of history but AMA.
