On Friday, March 13, 2020, we got an email from the Alexandria City Public School district. Schools would not be reopening on Monday and would, in fact, remain closed until after Spring Break. That was a full 4 weeks away on April 13. Later, we would be informed that school would be virtual for the rest of the year. They would not reopen until the Fall of 2021.  

Covid had arrived in our neck of the woods. This was before Zoom. This was before Instacart had scaled up its operation. This was before the Great Toiletpaper Shortage. This was before lockdowns. This was before 9.6 million people lost their jobs (temporarily or otherwise). This was just as the panic kicked in and grocery stores were stripped bare.
