“Even BINGO got canceled! This has never happened B4”

The 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak resulted in many cancellations, especially in professional sports. A joke was posted on Facebook by Cheryl Hennessy on March 16, 2020:
 
“Even BINGO got cancelled. This has never happened B4.”
 
Some versions use “canceled” instead of “cancelled.” “Even BINGO got canceled! This has never happened B4” was posted on Facebook by Linda Bebee Newberry at almost the same time.
 
   
Wikipedia: 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak
The 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak is an ongoing global outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The disease was first identified in Wuhan, Hubei, China on 1 December 2019, spreading to every province-level administrative division of the country by 29 January 2020. On 30 January, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern following an increase in the number of cases outside China.

My dad said that they shut down the bingo hall by 502.
He said “this has never happened…B4.”
I can’t with this man sometimes.
