The Beach Tested Positive - My Pandemic Life in San Diego
Description (Dublin Core)
I still remember very vividly when they closed the beaches in San Diego. It was near the beggining of the Covid-19 pandemic and fear reigned high in Calfornia cities. In an effort to curb high traffic of visitors, local government enforced lockdowns on all public beaches. No one was allowed to enter the beaches for weeks at a time and security tape lined their edges. Never in my life had going to beach been something illegal. My two roommates and I, barricaded by empty takeout boxes, sourdough starters, and dalgona coffee creations, banded together in our misery, sharing new memories over card games and wine nights, the beaches' waves reaching for us.
