[quote=sdrealtor]I can’t believe people are still having these conversations. The death toll was only what it was because of the “drama” and it being “overdone”. Such short memories have you of pandemics and housing bubbles[/quote]
There was a lot of incompetence to spread around here, which is quite likely part of the cause of the death toll. At the same time, the drama may have caused some people to disregard some of the precautions they should have taken. What I have been talking about is compared to the drama the media presented along the lines of ‘Dirty Laundry’, it was not as catastrophic as it was pumped up to be.

Drama without good facts is useless(I was not listening to the media – I was pulling down research papers to find out what was happening). Even officials were contradicting themselves on how bad it was at the beginning. China(CCP) and WHO were saying it was nothing far into the situation and they have ‘revised the facts’ to make it look like they warned people sooner than they actually did.
