It's rough seeing what's going down with Twitter these days. You know, it's kinda sad.

@sam_sayss No sequels, assume the best and most cheery future

I'm devastated states across the US are now facing intense coronavirus outbreaks of their own. Along with who I assume many New Yorkers, I wish no one would have to experience the nightmare of NYC in April. Many Americans may soon. Some already.

[Patrick deHahn @patrickdehahn]

After all, nightly applause honored essential workers, bodegas stayed open, mutual aid Slack groups were set up to support neighbors in need, deliveries were made, New Yorkers came out to support Black lives in a protest movement amid a pandemic.

As Mike said in their thread, I also thought about going to my parents and I don't blame those who did. I love New York for what it is, and how it lets people come and go. TBH I struggled with the decision but decided NYC was where I was going to quarantine--and I'd do it again.

[Patrick deHahn @patrickdehahn]

We felt the fear, panic, worry neighbors had. I remember regularly waiting 50 minutes to get into a grocery store with capacity limits. I remember seeing closed storefront after storefront down empty city avenues. I remember laundromats even closed--imagine if you depended on one

[Patrick deHahn @patrickdehahn]

I remember the sirens. They were endless, near and distant. You'd hear ambulances every thirty minutes, more so on the most dire nights in New York. People I called on video chats would notice them. I read tweets about sirens in other boroughs. They kept coming. Over and over.

[Patrick deHahn @patrickdehahn]

It was truly a scary time. While we quarantined as much as we could, we had to make our essential outings--stressful endeavors trying to physically distance in crowded sidewalks, small bodegas, grocery stores. You'd return home hoping you didn't get infected somewhere, somehow.

[Patrick deHahn @patrickdehahn]

New York underwent one of the harshest US coronavirus lockdowns. We'd hear daily briefings about hospitals at capacity... death toll numbers... refrigerator trucks... and continue to hunker down in our small apartments in the densest US city. National news for some, local for us.

[Patrick deHahn @patrickdehahn]

I 100% feel this.

Two weeks ago, I left Brooklyn for the first time in four months. I don't think the intensity and severity of what we went through in April hit me until then. I remembered the constant sirens, palpable anxiety, empty streets, and climbing death tolls.
