Please read the following before entering this website:
- This site was created to preserve the journey we’ve all been forced to take since COVID-19, and everything that came along with it, took the world by storm in 2020.
- Beginning at 2019/2020 is the best way to see the progression of the pandemic.
- Much of the material on The Before Time page was researched and written at various points over the last several years but is written chronologically, as is much of the website.
- Entries with extra significance have the date or text (or both) highlighted in red.
- New entries may be added to the already existing timeline. Important new entries will be posted on the What’s New page for a period of at least 60 days – as well as within the timeline itself – to allow readers to see new entries even if they’ve already read the page it was added to. The What’s New page is accessible through the Reports and Documents link in the header.
- You may notice quite a few YouTube and Twitter links have been removed/deleted since the entries they’re contained in were originally written. I am doing my best to replace and provide backups to those links, but the Ministry of Truth and their army of censors have the ability to take videos down at a much quicker rate than I can re-find them and get them back up again. I took the time to transcribe many of the important quotes I linked to so in the event they were later taken down, the words could still be read.
- If you are looking at the site on a mobile phone, there is a small tab next to the name of the website (three small blue lines) that allows you to access all of the site’s pages.
