everyone always overexaggerates how useful the incident was to epidemiologists. It was certainly an interesting novelty, and some cool studies were produced, but the issue was that there weren’t actually consequences for bad actors. It’s a lot harder for assholes to willingly catch a disease with the goal of spreading it when that disease can actually kill them.
I’m more miffed that they never figured out a way to rerun the event for WoW Classic, if even for only 24 hours.
There’s at least one video I saw of a maskless person claiming they didn’t need the mask to protect themselves because they already have covid.
Reminder, masks were not suppose to protect YOU. They were to stop you from coughing/spitting on other people. You needed eyewear/face shield to properly protect yourself.
No, not at all like COVID. Don’t confuse ignorance for malice. The issue with COVID was skeptics who only consumed right-wing propoganda downplaying the severity of the virus. There were no skeptics in the Corrupted Blood incident, people were maliciously trying to spread the virus knowing that it would kill other people.

Yea, if anything it underestimated how many people would be willing dedicate themselves to becoming full time plague spreaders.
