Influenza was far worse than Covid

Notice something different too?
In 1919 newspapers were censored and people were told not to talk about it for fear of ruining moral

Today is exact opposite
People get more excitable and frantic and need to know all the rumours RIGHT NOW
Which is better, crazy conspiracy nuts shooting up cell towers or people not knowing how many people worldwide have died?

I think medical care has developed a bit since then too. I wonder what the covid death toll would be if it spread in 1918.

Perhaps Brazil is a small snapshot of what that would have been like.
As bad as Brazil's number of cases and deaths that are reported, they are a very small percentage of what is happening in Brazil. They simply do not have resources to track cases or report the deaths specially due to the large number of population in rural areas about 30 Mln, nor does their president care.
There is not a single doubt in my mind that Brazil will have the most number of excess deaths than any other country.

Considering government control of media in places like China and Iran who were hit early and other places like Russia where doctors keep falling out of windows, it will be a hard bet to collect on.

Antibody tests for COVID-19 wrong up to half the time, CDC says

Antibody tests used to determine if people have been infected in the past with COVID-19 might be wrong up to half the time, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in new guidance posted on its website.

Antibody tests, often called serologic tests, look for evidence of an immune response to infection. "Antibodies in some persons can be detected within the first week of illness onset," the CDC says.

They are not accurate enough to use to make important policy decisions, the CDC said.

Which means half the people we thought have developed immunity haven't. Doesn't sound good for those hoping for herd immunity.
And if the antibody test is correct, they do not know how long the antibodies will remain effective. Like the flu virus the antibodies created might be short lived. They just do not know.

It would have been way lower....

Population of World was far less to begin with
Coupled with the fact that working class was far less likely to travel for pleasure
And political isolation of groups of countries would have prevented transmission across many borders


Thats why Influenza outbreak was really scary if you think about it
Far larger percentage of world was involved

What we do know as is always the case, follow the money and you will find the truth. This is a scam, not a pandemic.

Is it that you think Covid-19 doesn't exist or that it hasn't spread to many countries?

So countries collapsed their economies and took on trillions in debt so that companies like Amazon and PPE manufacturers could increase their sales. :der:

Why would someone get a gun *after* WW1???

The only fighting going on at that point were illegal UK/US incursions into Russia
The war did not end until November 1918, and I am sure they also wanted to go home when demobilized.

34 States Had Higher Death Rate From 2018 Flu Than Coronavirus

n 2018 we had a very bad flu season and tens of thousands of people died all over the country.

Most of you, including me, didn’t even notice it happened. In fact, the media barely covered the 2018 flu season at all. I don’t ever remember seeing a daily tally of flu infections or daily deaths from the flu or media members and politicians lecturing me to never leave my house again. And I certainly don’t remember any events being canceled in this country. Heck, I don’t remember any expert models forecasting deaths or any politicians blaming each other for the death toll either.

Put simply, I don’t remember any major national discussion about the tens of thousands of flu deaths in 2018.

You probably don’t either.

That’s because the media — and as a result the general public and the politicians — mostly ignored those deaths. Probably because while all deaths are tragic, 2.8 million people die every year in this country, that’s 7500 a day, 50,000 a week.

This, of course, contrasts immensely with the way the media has covered the deaths from the coronavirus. Even right now, as tragic as the death toll is, the number of people who have died from the coronavirus is pretty similar to the number who died from the flu in 2018. And neither the flu nor the coronavirus death toll is likely to substantially alter the year end death toll, which is likely to end up around 2.8 million like it does every year.

Yet this year we completely abandoned all logic and reason and fell victim to fear porn.

Covid is a Liberal Political campaign. They want us all to lose our jobs, our savings, our liberty, our freedom so they can have a better shot at voting Trump out. Its absolutely disgusting how low they will stoop. Republicans have their MAGA hats and Liberals have their masks.

Well now, we've seen and heard it all. Unfuckingbelievable.

The World IS flat
Aliens are monitoring humanity
Tin Foil helps block the alien's transmission
The Chinese will slip a chip in the vaccine to monitor everyone
THE SKY IS FALLING EVERYONE RUN!!!

Yes, his wording is off but the point is made. Seems it spread around a military camp in Kansas, spread to Europe when those troops were deployed then spread around the world when all those troops demobbed.
