0:34 stupid comment from this guy about avoiding people with masks since those are the people who were less likely to be infected.

[benjamintriplett]

Its so crazy that 2020 has only been 3 years ago but it feels like its been a decade ago already!

[PsyQoBoy]

When COVID was so popular during 2020 they just have to make a sequel in 2021.

[makisov]

It started with 50 people, and no one took it seriously. That's...insane.

This mini documentary looks like a horror film..I can't believe this is our lives (and deaths, for many)

[randiekay]

Its been two years and it's crazy and scary how everything happened so fast. I went from having a normal time to now having to wearing masks and having to have a piece of paper saying I'm an essential worker. I almost had to file for partial unemployment because my hours got cut back drastically because we were now serving a limited menu and instead of working 8 hours a day I was now working 4

[sweettea]

Honestly, this is super crazy. It started with barely any cases and now here I am in quarantine cause my family has one of the new strains. I hope y’all stay healthy and safe out there. And remember we’re all in this together!

2021: Second and ongoing year of the pandemic.

[Teelsambal]

It's so special to be alive now, sad my dad just missed it. Exited to see whats next for mankind.

[gdagod]

This makes my hair stand!…I’m grateful I’m living through it…

[malenigarcia]

I remember being in class and celebrated when the announcement came on. I can’t believe how much has changed.

[raymondbarbosa]

The beginning of this gives me chills because I remember watching the ball drop on New Year's Eve and thought "This is gonna be a great year!" NOPE!!

[dylanpower]

I can’t believe 2020 was over 6 months ago 💀😭

[OneDollaBill]

"It will go away by April" and then by easter 😆

Remember that was Trump who said that.

[naturelover]

How come they didn’t mention Italy ?? There were months where Italy suffered a lot and were all over the news

[GottaLookInwardToSeeOutward]

2020 was gonna be my year but covid said nope

[lilmixer]

My great grandma died due to covid may god bless her soul and many others up in heaven.

[leathermanch]

I lost my mother and early 2020 my brother in July of 2020 and my aunt Mary in December of 2020 right after Christmas mom and Mary were 73 my brother was 51 despite all the non-believers and all the haters out put yourself in my shoes I still haven't recovered three years later from losing them 😭 hard it was not being able to say goodbye to my mother or my brother because the virus took them so fast

[marthareyes]

Here I am remembering when COVID started it made my mom I’ll and also my doctor that I had for 30 years .sadly they are gone too 🥹hope and pray that 2023 brings us nothing but joy to everyone’s life 🙏🏻

[DarkXVenator]

The year of the biggest wealth transfer in human history. Makes 08 look like a walk in the park

[jessygane]
