    man, remember when redditors were talking about the same thing spreading in India back in the ripe old time of May 2021, and how it was just due to their bad hygiene and 3rd worldism?

      I remember that well. There were about a million Reddit comments along the lines of “this is because India is unsanitary, would never happen in the US.” Who could have predicted that America would greatly overestimate its ability to handle a highly infectious disease?

        surely nobody in 2021 would think that, it's not like there was a global pandemic that totally shattered the expectations of the "international community":
