Andromeda Strain? Nuclear fallout, or eminent attack. Chinese biological warfare after escalations in the South China Sea would be the most believable. Zombies wouldn't get you 3 seconds.
They were truly blessed to be able to have that extra time to themselves just to be able to live in that moment of bliss around nature before having to return to this crisis
Imagine driving traffic free down the highway passing empty gas stations then arriving to an abandon hometown. Looking as you cruised block after block through an empty town with animals roaming through the streets.

You guys work too much and don’t get enough time on. Totally agree with you on the biased news media, but they will do anytime to get you to tune in and watch.

People didn't really know about the virus until December and the general public was made more aware of it in January. Everyone was downplaying the risk of the virus even in February. I remember reading news articles about the risk of coronavirus being low in Canada and now look at us. I am not that shocked that when they left everything still seemed fine. Especially in the U.S where their own president said it wasn't a big deal.

This happened to me to a lesser extent. I went on a week long hiking trip around the middle of March- when I left there were just 1500 US cases, my college was going to go online for a few weeks but would let people in the dorms (like me) stay there. I get back and there’s 30,000 cases, my state is under a stay at home order, and my college is staying online for the rest of the semester and is kicking everybody off campus. Crazy.
Yes, you absolutely were given extra time...
It started in january .and you have no idea. Maybe they are referring how the virus escalated from that to this
I think the last people to know that this pandemic is going on is Tylee and JJ! I hope they are found 💕

I find it crazy that no one brings a cell phone at least in case of emergency bet they have a satellite phone, but they could of definitely brought a cell phone, and kept it off and only charge it every few weeks cause it would be charged, plus having a high amp/power discharge portable usb battery pack all in a waterproof bag they make just for this purpose to seal electronic. Just can’t believe they don’t respond back to anyone for 25 days. Unless their really is not any signal then what I typed was worthless lol?

Typically you might have a satellite phone for emergency use only. Otherwise there's no signal out there.
Remind me of a quote from Ernest Shackletons exploration to the Northpole at the start of the First World War. Returning to semi-civilization after a gruesome (TRULY) trip one of his first questions and the answer was: "Tell me, when was the war over?" I asked. "The war is not over," he answered. "Millions are being killed. Europe is mad. The world is mad."
Imagine waking up from a coma when covid was at its peak…

Do you Americans even know why you bought so much toilet paper? You bought because everyone else bought in the belief that someone knew something you did not know and the fear of being without. But from the very beginning, the toilet paper crisis began in China. Several toilet paper factories in China switched to making mouth protection and people in nearby areas became worried that toilet paper would become a scarce commodity for a little while in the local area. This fear then spread throughout the world. including to the usa.
