@clacke Contrasts #Hong_Kong in 2003 responding to #SARS with #Sweden in 2020 responding to #COVID-19.

Admittedly, I was barely even aware of SARS at the time (and completely missed MERS a few years later). But at the time, I was working full time, attending a college and a university, teaching a class at church, and trying to work out custody of #sonTwo. I was running full tilt for around 20 hours a day, drinking around 4 twelve-cup pots of coffee each day.

I'm really surprised I remember those years at all.
