[–] originalfrozenbanana@lemm.ee 34 points 2 years ago (1 child) Agree with everything you said except that Covid was still a big deal even with the preparedness permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] VentraSqwal@links.dartboard.social 10 points 2 years ago NY had bodies in freezer trucks didn't it?
