Wouldn’t it be more like SARS back in the day? Before covid was cool. Pretty sure I heard we were on the brink of an epidemic but thanks to smart people and less wilfully proud ignorant douche bags, it didn’t.
It was the same as COVID.
People said if we didn’t do anything, shit would get bad.
So lots of people did lots of stuff, and it wasn’t a big deal.
It’s natural human variation for some people to think it’s always not a big deal. We evolved for it to vary because that’s what helped the overall group survive.
Somebody has to be the first out the cave to see if the wolves are still out there. If we all left at the same time they’d rip everyone to shreds. It helps the group to have a couple idiots around to test if it’s safe.

Sometimes one’s purpose is only to serve as a warning for others.

To shreds you say?

Agree with everything you said except that Covid was still a big deal even with the preparedness

It seems like it was a big deal.
But we didn’t see mass deaths except when ERs ran out of beds…
Which thankfully wasn’t that often, if we didn’t do anything, they’d have been full everywhere I don’t think you understand how fast society would have broken down if that was happening for a year.
Like if you get in a plane crash and broke a leg, people wouldn’t say they were happy you were ok because broken legs don’t suck, they’d mean you survived.

NY had bodies in freezer trucks didn’t it? But ya, it was mostly in certain places and sectors.
