The internet by itself wouldn't have been sufficient because most people use television and cell phones to get their news. Now if the pandemic was REAL, then the news would have spread from the bodies laying in the streets, which there never was.

If I ran the world tv and cellphones would be abolished - and the people would cry and moan... But later they would realize what a wonderful world we live in, looking at real trees and talking to real people.
If everyone agreed to throw theirs in a volcano tomorrow I’d be into it
Agreed. Its an amazing world. My boarding school was like that. We had one TV per unit of like 80 kids and it was in the lounge so if we ever did watch something it would be with a group of other kids.
And we had cell phones but besides contacting our parents to let them know how we're doing now and then, there was very little need to use them.
The result? An unbelievably positive atmosphere and community of like minded people constantly socializing in person. I would give almost anything to be able to go back to a community like that where people were always open to talking and meeting one another and people were never buried in their technology living digitally and unaware of their surroundings.
