They did though. They went from "lol, look at those conspiracy theorists saying there's a deadly plague in china, what xenophobes" to "OMG we're all dying, there's millions dead worldwide, #stayhomesavelives #holdfast"
They literally believe whatever they're told, evidence notwithstanding.
Good point, I had people laugh their heads off at me when I warned them, or went into a store with a full get up on. But once they were told "Everyone panic!" they stayed panicking, and no amount of good news or no one dying changes their mind.
Really a gut-punch for my faith in humanity.
TV and social media are reality now.
Yeah, why would you trust your lying eyes when you have owners in the media to explain the truth to you.
