What would it be like if the Covid 19 outbreak had happened in 1990 instead?

When most people didn't even have a dial up modem service/never mind the internet, same time frame, March is when the lockdowns had begun, if people COULDN'T work or go to school online from home.

    That would be a great disadvantage.  People would have taken risks.

    The Covid-19 is not the first virus to assault humans.  What happens when a pandemic hits and there is no internet?  Read about the Spanish Flu of 1918.
