This post is amazing because it seems to have come from a completely different universe than the one I inhabit.
In my world people were having early concerns about COVID in January. We were getting sporadic reports from China and it was bad. Experts were saying that it was only a matter of time till it got to the US and the worst part was that we didn’t have enough stockpiles of face masks for everybody. There was advice to save masks for medics and first responders until the supply situation improved.
People were already in a panic and buying up all of the toilet paper for some reason. Then in March the cases spiked and the lockdowns came.
If you were getting a lot of misinformation then maybe you should consider your sources. If someone was lying to you in 2020 they are probably still lying to you.
