Re: 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.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75791429


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.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78629642


It's different this time because several NGOs together with the World Bank embarked in an effort to push health policy makers worldwide to approve financing and execute a planned preparedness simulation exercise that includes a worldwide infectious respiratory illness this year. Such simulation exercise should proof that private corporations act faster that Goberments and create healthy markets to fit big pharma offer aka vaccines

This. Plus internet/social media. Plus Trump/Fear rhetoric.



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.

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.

So far thats all too? About the samevasca bad flu season....that cost TRILLIONS on a financial fraud. Its people i am really beginning to hate. But the conquered are always hated by the conquerer, just like moslems hate a dimmi.
they still didn't invent a vaccine for previous coronaviruses why would they so suddenly force a new, brand, extra untested new one now when even Fauci said that it could enhance the disease itself and make it worse

some people really are war criminals and others retards

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78547055

They did a vaccine with it that killed all the test subjects....some people think thats the actual weapon. The original highly lethal vaccine.
But yes. The stupid is odious
It's a weapon.

Because it escaped from a biolab. China quarantined 400 milion people. Then 750 milion. China does not do that unless they know something....

We began locking down when our projections showed milliona dying. Again...we knew it came from a biolab.

They won't call it a biopweapon because they don't want to panic people...but....

Also, keep in mind that the Spanish Flu killed that many people dover 3 years. So far, in 3 months in the US, it has killed 83,000 in our country alone. (Probably more.)

Covid could end up killing many more than the Spanish Flu.

For example, here us a simple algebra question...if Covid killed 83,500 in the US in3 months, then if the infectious rate stays the same and the death rate stays the same (I know it won't, it could get better or worse) how many will die in 36 months?

83,500. X
------- --------
3 months. 36 months


X = 1,200,000

Well 1.2 million is much more...(in fact twice as much) than the 600,000 people that died in than the Spanish Flu in this country.

Also, keep in mind, the 2nd and the 3rd waves of the Spanish Flu were much worse than the first wave...and we are not even all the way through the.first wave, yet!

So you can't say Covid is.mot as bad as the Spanish flu, because we are still in the midst of it, and the Spanish flunlasted 3 years.

Also, the Spanish flu happened during World War 1, so.countries could NOT shut down and also fight a war.

Most countries were not being honest about hiw many were dying from thed.flu, either. Only Spain was, because they were neutral in WWI. That's why it became known as the Spanish Flu, even though it started in Kansas.

on one level yes. there are likely many different chains of command working. I think the primary actor is a faction born of an alliance between US private sector technocrats/deep state futurists and some vague unknown evil Chinese group.

The first months of this were Hollywood. Watch how Trudeau is playing with china- one foot with their military vaccine efforts and the other standing with the 'world' who want 'answers'.

There was probably a secret delegation that made the rounds blackmailing the countries to play and implement the new draconian lockdown and surveillance. They weren't "Chinese" and they weren't "American". This was a globalist coup and it has succeeded so far.

your comment is the kind of thing I have seen ooze out of the official narrative.
