For sure. Reddit doesn't start "testing" it just for sport.

Where have I seen such worldwide concerted action among all governments and corporations. Ah yes, when China "leaked" a virus.

Did they save lives?

or

Did they put us in house arrest?

    And they put people in house arrest, because... ? I just saw tanks being transported on public-roads today. So the reason couldn't be to covertly move weapons: that goes on in public, in broad daylight and that transit sits alongside vans delivering ice-creams to convenience stores. So, the big cabal wanted to put people under house arrest... to do what?

    Pick up a book. Pandemics aren't new and neither is the orchestrated response to them by governing bodies. History can be a good reference.

    So they used medieval techniques got it.

    Well they didn't, but concerning your teensy little pee brain of yours, could as well have.

    I know they did the same in 1919, that's barely 20th century. And an entire century of medical progress early.

    Maybe you can clarify what your point here actually is?

    op seems to think that pandemic response is tradition based, rather than science based.

    tradition as like in 1919 where people were told to put a rag on the face, ritualistic hand washing etc, and rushed novel vaccines with bacteria. Everyone died anyway.

    Yeah I picked up the history book

    The fuck? What are you even trying to say here? Are you upset about the existence of a pandemic response?

    They turned authoritarian without batting an eye. Worldwide. That's what they really showed themselves to be. Cancelled freedom and privacy, destroyed local business and handicapped the developing children of that time. And will continue to do these things.

    And yes it was unnecessary. I know you want to read into this and say I was against "a pandemic response", but not "that" pandemic response..
