The hysterics were always overblown, but it would definitely have been much worse had there not been so much work done.
It wasn't overblown- lots of transportation and infrastructure systems needed to be updated
If it wasn't done in advance that would have been chaos for weeks
I mean the "society will collapse, I'm going to stock my bunker" people were overblowing it
Doesn't matter, has bunker
It’s not easy to contradict yourself in a single sentence, but you nearly managed it :)
Not sure overblown is the right word.
Like did you see how people reacted having to wear a mask for Covid. Imagine they couldn’t use their banks or pay for things people are wild and don’t would be rioting.
