          2019+7= 2026 next year it’ll be my 8th year which is 2027, 2019+8= 2027.

          I quit when the pandemic started which it started in 2019, I quit in December of 2019.

          I suppose my wording puzzles people sometimes.

      Covid started without it being known it was covid in Wuhan at the tail end of 2019, it didn’t become pandemic proportions until 2020. I said almost 7 years so I quit in 2019. When covid happened was nearly 7 years ago and uhhhh covid-19. 19… 2019, not the viruses code name it was called covid-19 actually it was the Wuhan virus and then it was changed to covid-19 so that way it wouldn’t cause racism and to be scientific about the namesake.
