I’ve just read a similar thread elsewhere, and it’s amazing how different peoples experiences were of that “oh crap” moment.
Personally, I think in hindsight I was a bit slow on the uptake, call it optimism / denial / whatever. For me it was when rumours began about schools closing, and Boris did a very serious (and uncharacteristically statesmanlike!) address to our nation. I cried on and off for days. Felt anxiety like I’d never felt before.
So, where were you and what happened the moment you realised this was going to have a massive impact on our world?
