“Wow.. bars, clubs, and gyms all closed? My life is about to seriously be exactly the same”

The 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic resulted in many closings. A joke was posted on Twitter by danielle weisberg on March 15, 2020:

“Wow.. bars, clubs, and gyms all closed?? my life is about to seriously be exactly the same.”

Wikipedia: 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak
