SARS outbreak was in 2002 so it’s not really old concept for the 90s
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002%E2%80%932004_SARS_outbreak
Asians were wearing masks in public for the common cold long before today's other outbreaks.
You're not wrong. But if someone time travels from the 90s then 2002 is still a future they haven't seen yet.
SARS was bad, but not anywhere close to COVID bad. We’re coming up on the sixth anniversary of COVID and there are still people dying every day from it.
Also, someone from the 1990s being transported to 2002 would probably be more interested in a very different event that occurred less than a year before.
