What was the Great Scare?

• throwaway22032 5y ago
  That time when there was a big propaganda campaign to get everyone to hide inside for a big scary virus. We probably maybe not really sure saved 0.5%-1% of the population, so it was worth 2-3% of our lives worrying about it, 10% inflation, public transport becoming financially unviable, various career paths literally disappearing, an irreparable political split, education being deleted for a bit, etc. Thankfully, slightly later on, ~all then got it anyway so now there's at least a critical mass of people who realise this was all a load of shit and I don't have to adblock it by self excluding from all social networks.
