I remembered how much scaremongering was done over the first SARS outbreak, which while bad for the seven hundred people it killed obviously wasn’t nearly as bad as what has happened with COVID-19.

I remember people at work saying china was putting people in death camps when I mentioned how it was cool how fast they were assembling hospitals and testing facilities lmao

Yes I distinctly remember the tweet going around in like Jan/Feb 2020, of some video from China of a drone yelling at an old lady to go home, and how the reaction was “how oppressive no freedoms”
