Do you remember the “news photos” right at the start which showed aid workers in hazmat suits tending to “victims” who had just collapsed on the street? They look ridiculous now.

Yes I do. I also remember early on the Diamond Princess cruise ship, which had passengers with Covid and wasn’t allowed to dock. The hysterical media was speculating everyone on the ship would die. Cruise ships have a disproportionately elderly population, so this ship was filled with the most vulnerable. Of the 3711 passengers and crew floating around in close proximity 700 (19%) became infected and 9 (1/4 of 1%) died. So in extremely close quarters with the best conditions for nurturing and spread spreading the virus, with negligible medical care, and with an extremely vulnerable population, the death rate was 0.24%, or about the same as the annual flu. Plus less than 20% even contracted the disease. Hardly the “we are all going to die” scenario being portrayed.
The cruise ship incident triggered my suspicion there was a huge psychological war being waged by the government, the media and the scientific establishment against the people globally. The reality clearly simply did not match the story. Subsequent events have demonstrated the extent of the big lie. As a result trust in government, medicine, the media and science is at an all time low.
