Those social mechanisms start somewhere. I read SciFi stories that start with a pandemic in the 21st century when I was growing up.Day 1 Outtake: 'Until Further Notice'
Taken at my local organic foods supermarket where the checkers are now 'protected' by immense plastic shields, adorned with serious-seeming notices informing all shoppers that, 'until Further notice', all sales are final (i.e. the store will no longer offer refunds on mistaken purchases) .... a sign of the times, perhaps?
But actually the whole image - which couldn't help reminding me of the bullet-proof plexiglass shields many banks installed in front of tellers after a spate of hundreds (or was it thousands?) of bank robberies in the United States, during the 80's - had, for me, a strange, somewhat grim feeling - like I was in a futuristic sci-fi thriller about the social mechanisms of future generations, like Jean-Luc Godard's 'Alphaville'.
Perhaps not the best photograph I've taken, but for me a good document of the times we are living in - and, hopefully, through.

P.S. taken with one of the built-in monochrome 'Profiles' on my Pen F, and very lightly tweaked a bit in PP.
Really like the colors on that first one!This is the colour version of my Day 1 post

Yup. I've read plenty of post-apocalyptic stories, "The Stand" being chief among those involving a pandemic. Even though this is bad - very bad in some quarters - we can only hope and pray it doesn't get as bad as the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918-19.Those social mechanisms start somewhere.

Nowhere near that atm. What a truly horrible period that would have been.Yup. I've read plenty of post-apocalyptic stories, "The Stand" being chief among those involving a pandemic.
