COVID-19 lockdown was 5 years ago. What do you remember about that day when the world stopped?

I remember thinking there is a chance we all start seeing dead bodies in the street, and preparing what I would need

@Rob04 Might seem extreme but the way they were acting in the media gave that impression.
Early on, they were talking about hospitals having semi trucks full of corpses cause the morgues were full, people having to be put in tents outside the hospital (in the middle of January) cause not enough beds, etc.
Lines a mile long trying to get into the hospital.
Independent reporters soon went to these hospitals and found nothing of the sort. Of course youtube removed such videos, claiming they spread false info.
I just remember thinking, "If the media is going to lie, shouldn't they make a believable one instead of wild exaggerations?"
