I was on holiday in Scotland with my wife, brother, and sister-in-law in March 2020. We tried to go to the Edradour Distillery and Urqhardt Castle (Loch Ness) on the same day, and both had been closed for COVID. But we were expecting that.

It was when we came home that it really hit me. Heathrow > JFK > SeaTac airports. Each airport had COMPLETELY DIFFERENT protocols for handling people, and none of them made much medical sense.

THAT was when I knew we were fucked, and our governments were going to fuck the whole thing up for everyone.
