Why Did We Treat Coronavirus So Differently Than Other Epidemics?
The Spanish flu following WWI was far more severe than COVID-19. At least 50 million people died worldwide, 675,000 in the US, or roughly 10 times the COVID-19 tallies. Worse, mortality extended to all age groups including those under five and previously healthy people.

Americans practiced basic preventive measures but didn’t destroy the economy. The rapid comeback produced the Roaring Twenties.

Hong Kong flu killed over 100,000 Americans, then with a population of 200 million. Yet Americans didn’t freak out. Schools stayed open since children weren’t in serious danger.

Again, common-sense measures to avoid exposure to the virus, sanitize hands and surfaces, and protect the vulnerable were taken. But there was no lockdown, people went to work, and life pretty much went on.

We have to do better or go down in history as the generation that let the American experiment fail.

The cause of this was disinformation spread by China about the virus and what it could do. This in turn, sparked panic that caused governments worldwide to overreact.

Part of the overreaction was due to the fact that many governments weren't prepared to deal with a pandemic and actually cut back or failed to properly fund pandemic preparation stockpiles.

Because we have the internetz and can do things like working from home, online schooling, online shopping, etc.

If it wasn't for the internetz, the shutdown would've never happened because it wouldn't have been sustainable for more than one day.

That's why there was no shutdowns with the other pandemics, hong kong flu, etc. even the swine flu H1N1 in 2009, nobody worked from home even 10 years ago.

So blame the internetz.

Back when GLP was a good source of info, you might remember the R0 of the virus being high. It’s extremely contagious and much more deadly than flu which is why things were shut done pretty quickly once that became generally accepted.

Re: Why Did We Treat Coronavirus So Differently Than Other Epidemics?
There are many “experts” in academia, science, government, think tanks, etc. who have sat around for the last 50 years discussing what would happen if a serious black-plague, Stephen-King, captain-trips-style disease occurred, and drawing up plans, drafting papers, creating scenarios, etc.

This in itself is not a bad thing. It’s good to be prepared.

But in a sense we are overprepared, so the second it seems like something is coming down the pike like that, everybody jams their little plans into action and you get panic and overreacting.

In the time of the Spanish flu, disease and death by disease was much more common and people just rolled with it as a fact of life. Old people dying from a variety of sicknesses and infant mortality was enormous. Now most people die from cancer, accidents, or heart disease because everything else, all the ancient horrorshow diseases, has been “cured.” But lurking in the back of the collective mind is the awareness that some day a new plague will come along. It’s inevitable. People plan for it and they figured this was it so they jumped at a shadow.

We could still get whacked by a Superflu 100 times more deadly at any moment, by the way. Funny old world.

Re: Why Did We Treat Coronavirus So Differently Than Other Epidemics?
Because the chinese and the who told us it had a 7 percent mortality rate. Do the math - what is 7 percent of 300 million people? It is alot of dead people. Another part of it is no n95 masks in the us because china produces all of them and they hoarded them for chinese people. Our leaders should be crucified for letting china make all of our medicine and ppe. If we were prepared with ppe they wouldn't have had to shut down. The thing is when the germans figured out that its mortality is exactly like the flu they should have reopened every state. By not doing it they are going to destroy the western world. This was obviously an attack on western countries by china. The lies and manipulation of the who was an act of war. When the west goes down we need to make sure to take china with us.

Pin this, spread this document far and wide, share it with everyone you know.

In 2010, The Rockefeller Foundation published a document that descbribes four different future scenarios which the world could face in the near future and ways the government would deal with them.

In one of those worldwide scenarios, which they called "Lock Step", they describe a world "Of tighter top-down government control and more AUTHORITARIAN leadership, with limited innovation and citizen pushback".

IT'S WORD FOR WORD WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW AROUND THE WORLD.

The lockstep scenario is caused by a world wide pandemic, followed by China locking down and the world leaders imposing similar measures shortly after.

They go on to predict what comes next: "Even after the pandemic faded, this more authoritarian control and oversight of citizens and their activities stuck and even intensified"

Here is the document, the Lock Step scenario start at page 18:

[link to www.nommeraadio.ee]
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75872305


Thread: Rockfeller Foundation in 2010 predicted the worldwide lockdown - DOCUMENT INCLUDED


The actual orginal "Operation Lockstep" papers were distributed in the 1970s. This one is just a rehash.

There ya go - see this plandemic hoax & the people who planned it in their own writings. Anyone still believing this nonsense is gonna get a 1-way ticket to Camp FEMA after the "contact tracers" are activated.

It's a purge baby! A purge!
