It did not happen in a day. I was a medical student at the time. Covid-19 begun to emerge in China in November 2019. We were hearing about it in December 2019. Australia had terrible wildfires. The movie Joker had recently been released. Covid was spreading rapidly, and reports of deaths were mounting. In Europe, America, and elsewhere, cases began to be reported. It had spread all over the world by March 2020 and was apparently making many people ill. I remember hearing about Italy and high number of deaths being reported, especially in Lombardy region. My medical school and hospital were, until lockdowns, very blasé about it. The doctors and nurses did not think there was going to be mass outbreak. I wonder why? I knew it was going to be horrible, that we were in for years of misery. They thought I was making a wrong or unfounded prediction. It seemed to be mathematical certainty to me.
I opposed lockdowns, mask mandates, and vaccine coercion and mandates. The “years of misery” were going to be media fixation with covid, propaganda, grave economic harm, many jobless, and many businesses being forced to close. I think we revealed our true colors during covid. This was the good thing about it. We revealed how much we care about freedom and whether we are able to be independent thinkers.

@emiliya A simple question...
You admit the real nature of the pandemic and its likely health and social effecvts, yet you reject trying to fight it.
Whilst I would agree the responses, which varied from country to country, may not always been the best in hindsight, aren't you contradicting yourself and preferred the disease to have been let rip?

@ArishMell I knew it was going to spread across the globe and spark the nonsense happening in China. A novel cold or flu virus is going to spread rapidly and infect many. What of it? Why did we lock nations down and devastate the economy? Covid-19 is a respiratory virus that most survive. Some of the colds you have are caused by coronaviruses.
The research that Fauci was funding in Wuhan was gain-of-function. It seeks to make viruses more virulent and transmissible. Why don't we ask more questions about this?

I get my information from the statistics and common sense. The source of my common sense is my brain, and you are not invited to work it out. You don't know what a brain is.
