I’m not understanding what you are saying. Each disease was different, but the hype surrounding them was pretty much the same. We were told if we were in the vicinity of someone with HIV or Ebola we would get it ourselves and die a horrific and painful death. As I recall people with HIV were hospitalized but sometimes hospital personnel were reluctant to even go in the same room. But none of that led to 6’ safe spaces, masks, double masks, triple masks, closing of businesses people who worked in government decided were nonessential, lockdowns, armed men with badges knocking down 65 year old women and arresting them because they wouldn’t wear a mask, banning travel between countries, requiring two week quarantines when leaving one state and entering another. And the list is much longer than that. As
@blbronco said Covid proved to be more infectious but considerably less deadly, and that was understood early in the game. So I remain confused as to what caused the hyperventilation and repression by the government, and why we the people so meekly allowed it to happen.
