      We didn't have 24/7 cable news to stir up the panic back then. All we had was a couple of hours of news (6 and 11PM) by three networks. And we didn't have social media to help spread the panic. Everyone was pretty isolated and thought of things like the Hong Kong flu as something that happened "out there" not at home.


      Plus, hippies. Lots of hippies.

        I think it's mainly social media. Far more folks have access to social media than 24/7 cable news. Social media was the societal gamechanger... for the worse.
