@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.

It sounds like both the #NBA and #Blizzard - #Activision should have stayed out of individuals’ expressions of belief about the situation in #Hong_Kong. It is hard to be sympathetic toward huge profit-making organizations that get in hot water for showing they’d surrender their own grandmothers for execution if the pay was high enough.
“This is not an expression of our organizational viewpoint” would have been sufficient, but they went beyond that.
