Vibeke discusses how the perception of the pandemic was skewed by sensationalized headlines, contrasting the actual hospitalization data with the fear-driven narratives. Ahmad emphasizes that the virus itself does not change across regions, suggesting that the severe impacts seen in certain areas were largely due to human-imposed measures rather than the virus's inherent danger. Together, they argue that the real crisis stemmed from the responses to the virus, creating a "man-made hell."
