They withheld any information about C-19 to US citizens until into 2020. Yet I found myself sick with ‘influenza’ for Christmas 2019.
That was the closest thing worth calling a ‘hoax’, the fact that it came out in 2019, but the US public wasn’t even made aware of it until later into 2020.
By then people were already sick, and it was spreading out of control. Lockdown was about a joke at that point, they waited too long for lockdown to do a damn thing.
BTW, it didn’t affect me any worse than any other case of a strong cold or the flu, though I totally realize it affected others differently.
I definitely heard about it on NPR in Christmas 2019. Not invalidating your experience, but I definitely heard about it on NPR. People were watching it
Can’t say I’ve ever heard of NPR before today, might have been handy to know before I decided to go to the hospital over a large cyst on December 19, 2019, that’s probably where I got it.
Anyways, from Wikipedia…
“The World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on 30 January 2020, and a pandemic on 11 March 2020.”
By then I had already got it and had already recovered. When I finally heard about it on the news, I was like ‘well ain’t that fucking cute, a day late and a dollar short’
Shall I assume you don’t live in the USA?
