Well, it will be a LONG time before I use photos in a GIF that really require captions for clarity.

It wasn’t that terribly hard to find out how and teach myself, but the process is slow, tedious and boring!

When I learned that Pres. Biden was going to address the nation last Thursday, marking the one-year anniversary of our lockdown, I decided I would do a “photo essay” type of post.

But since it’s been a top story for over a year, I wanted to try to find some photos we haven’t all seen dozens of times – which was a challenge.

And then I wasn’t sure how to categorize them into sections since they obviously all had an underlying common thread.  So there’s some overlap between the different GIFs.

No doubt a common impact of COVID here and around the world is that it’s made our lives much more insular and lonelier.

Of course it’s had a profound impact on the medical community

And its repercussions on individuals, families, friends, institutions and government will cause ripples for years and years to come.

I will close with a photo I’m sure we’ve all probably seen, but if I had to pick just one iconic photo representative our lives in the time of COVID, it’d be this:
