The 1918 Pandemic


Recommended Posts

 

History is always there to learn from.....

The 1918-1920 flu pandemic came in three major waves. After the first wave in the US, the virus subsided, and Americans were restless to have businesses reopened and for social life to resume. There was a growing movement to stop wearing masks, which had become ubiquitous - so much so that The Anti-Mask League of 1919 was formed. These were protests from those who thought the public health ordinance violated their liberty. 

The virus came back with a vengeance in the fall and was much deadlier than the first wave, eventually killing more than 675,000 Americans and killing around 100 million of the 500 million it infected worldwide before it was over. This was before mass vaccination, before the electron microscope; this is the tragedy of herd immunity and stubborn ignorance. 

Viruses aren't political; they don't care about your theories or speculations or projections. They're unthinking parasites only wanting to replicate and use your body as a host. Wear a mask.

So what was it like to experience that first hand? 

You must have many stories to tell. 

Got in on the ground floor buying Coca Cola stock. Now a multi millionaire but I can’t get a boner anymore at 95

If history is so fun to learn from, why are the democrats trying to erase it?

I'll tell you why... because the democrats are the party of racists and don't want the chillins to learn it.

Wow, white male portrayed as a COVIC-19 carrier, giving it to a black or brown woman.  Very interesting given what is going on right now.

Looks like a ginger, do they really count as white?

Sorry but that's pure propaganda.   They have zero clue what those percentages are.
