There was no lockdown in 1957/8 with the Asian 'flu pandemic nor the Hong Kong 'flu in 1968.

Right. I agree.

had Covid reared its head back in the 70s?

Would the world have gone into lockdown? I don't believe it would.

It's this Internet malarkey that has caused such an amazing level of communication.

I think we'd all have just bumbled along. The news would have informed us of a strange deadly virus and told us to take care . But I just don't think that we'd have behaved as we have.

Am I right or am I wrong?
