You got it! American society has become so very collectivized. “We are ibn this together” Feminized then collectivized.
Was Central Park turned into an enormous cemetery because of all the bodies? /s
It was the worst case of flu I ever had. If I had not been a young adult and in good shape, I’m not sure I could have beat it.
My mother had the Hong Kong flu. She was in her early 30s. She told me she was so sick she thought she would die and leave my father with three kids.
Indeed, and without the enforcement that penalizes violations we have read about, such as a drive-in parking lot service or having 16 people spread out in a church that seats 293[1].
I think time will tell that it is better in the long run to allow most to go outside and to work while practicing common-sense distancing. For the cost of these long-term extreme restrictions will end up being more costly to society and life than allowing greater freedom for most and a higher initial rate of infections followed by a faster decrease thru acquired immunity.
For as increased testing is showing, the vast majority who are infected with need no special care or have no symptoms, and far more are infected[2][3] than normal testing has shown, thus greatly reducing the fatality rate. And those who are in danger are overall the aged and or those with serious heath issues, as in the case in NYC[4].
And while Covid-19 is not the flu, yet the CDC estimates[5] that influenza has resulted in between 9 million – 45 million illnesses, and between 140,000 – 810,000 hospitalizations and between 12,000 – 61,000 deaths in America annually since 2010 (between 61,000[6] to 80,000[7] Americans died during the 2017-2018 season).
Yet the issue is why did we not see a comparative proportionate (to Covid-19) response to the Asian flu with its est. 500 million infections and 1–4 million deaths worldwide and 116,000 (according to the CDC[8] ) deaths in America, even when the population was about half what it is today? Besides the 100,000 deaths[9] in America from the Hong Kong flu that the article focus on?

When she was in college, she worked for Weiner.
I’ll leave it at that.
As the Asian press would report, “She work hard for erect Weiner.”
From Wikipedia “In an interview with Talking Points Memo that was published that day, Weiner Communications Director Barbara Morgan, who later said she thought her interview was off the record, called Nuzzi a fame-hungry “bitch” who “sucked” at her job, and a “slutbag,” “twat,” and “cunt”.”

Did a Chinese Foreign Minister Admit COVID-19 Came from a Lab?

Senator Tom Cotton was roundly ridiculed and branded a conspiracy theorist for saying that the Wuhan coronavirus may have come from a lab. There was an immediate false equivalence that he was accusing China of releasing an engineered bioweapon. That was never what he said, so we lived through weeks of China’s preferred “bat soup” story that insisted the virus came from a wet market.
HERE IS WHAT ELSE THEY DIDN’T DO
Every time an American looked at an item for where it was made in it came from China. Now China’s reliance making everything was being threatened by a change in leadership in America which was a major consumer of those products. When Americans hailed their leaders decision to make many of them in their country US. Their politburo worried.
Worse yet opponents to the Chinese regime in power had its citizens protesting its policies , as in Hong Kong, since that change in American leadership wave the American flag and present his name when doing so. All of which presented those in power the need to destroy that leader Donald Trump.
Would a runaway plague created by a nation which could threaten populations of an enemy cause them to react by demanding extreme restriction of movement by its population to prevent its spread ? Thus wind up fragmenting its economy and create defeat for that leader’s upcoming election.
The way this whole thing developed starting with the Italian fashion industry areas controlled by the Chinese commies hit by a runaway CCWV (Chinese Communist Wuhan Virus) breakout occurred in Wuhan the politburo closed off Wuhan but did not warn the Italian Socialist government or the Pope with whom the Chinese government had good relations with.
But certainly violated that understanding when the socialists should have been informed and allowed to deny those Chinese workers who replaced Italians in those factories taken over by the Chinese travel to and from China particularly for their New Year while this was occurring.
Where they seem to have done the same here with their takeover of Smithfield Pork processing Which Trump did with the exception of only allowing American citizens returning..
Sure looks suspicious particularly when crews of US naval vessels somehow wind up being infected by it while visiting certain Asian ports before that showed up in Italy.
But to stop the return of manufacturing of products back to the US that went to China. China backers here who’s family members are making millions from China through their political connections will be hit hard are also claiming that Trump’s alleged stock ownership in a quinine pills maker claim its a controlling interest in a product to be totally ineffective and when used requires a severe restriction of movement when near a possible carrier known as a shutdown because of its alleged rapid transmission spread by our media.
Yes and 250,000 people quit using their AT&T rotary phones back then.
80,000 died from the flu last year.
Last Year’s Flu Season Was the Deadliest In Four Decades, But Prompted Zero Shutdowns

LOL!
A clear sign we’re running out of things to do.
Last week on MeTv i caught a re-run of the Beverly Hillbillies. It was from 69 or 70 I think. Swear to God this was the episode. Milburn Drysdsle was sick with the flu, and it was a normal strain. His wofe was ashamed of him because it was not an exotic flu like Hong Kong so she could brag to her friends that Milburn had an exotic strain? Granny was curing it with moonshine, but Ellies bear kept drinking it. Thats the difference between then and now.
“It killed 100,000 Americans”
Was too young to remember at the time. Was that with our without lockdown measures?
The flu comes back every year and does the vaccine they produce to keep people from getting it work? I don’t get the vaccine. I may have gotten one 25 years ago when I worked in a hospital, but don’t anymore.
They snarky question should have been answered this way. The virus has claimed as many lives as we lose every year to car crashes and heart attacks. I did not see any other President resign for that. Vietnam was an ill advised war we chose to fight, This virus is a war that we did not choose, but will endure
All that and didn’t mention she looks like a tranny?
