The evening of 10 March 2020.
I was at a meeting of the Loyal Order of Water Buffaloes. At the time I was the senior officer in our district. I came out of the meeting room and someone told me to look at my email. The Grand Poobah canceled our quarterly meeting the following morning because the governor issued an order restricting group sizes. The restriction was changed by the end of the week to allow some smallish gatherings before eventually shutting every public gathering down for the next few months.

Since I didn’t have the quarterly meeting to attend I decided to go into work that day, The train into Boston was nearly deserted. The office was nearly empty. I’ve only been in the office twice since then.
So 10 March for me is the day the world really changed in a demonstrable way for me.
