Stumbled across this photo I took of empty shelves at Target at the start of lockdowns in March 2020.

Empty pharmacy shelves in the “Cold & Flu” aisle.

    The 1913 yearbook of Simmons College in included this bright red square, to mark the class of 1913's experience with scarlet fever as freshmen (apparently the students were sent home, and had to make up the time during warmer summer months). Makes me wonder about whether (and how) recent school yearbooks have marked shutdowns. (I know that a lot of colleges don't have anymore.) @simmonsuniv

    "This square is a memorial to our Freshman Year, when we had the scarlet fever, or rather, the scarlet fever had us. We did not have any Freshman frolic, but we had a vacation. Everything wasn't as bright and cheery as this memorial would indicate; its fiery appearance rather suggests the way we looked and felt when we were obliged to attend college late in June on account of our fever vacation." (from a 1913 college yearbook, printed next to a bright red square)
