I noticed in the article that one person was quoted as saying that things have certainly changed in the last 100 years, but I get the impression that the Media Party is still using the second wave of the Spanish Flu as a means of trying to scare people today into wanting to continue lockdowns. And really, it really is ridiculous to make comparisons of what happened then with today’s given advancements in medicine and knowledge.

That’s certainly not saying that it could never happen again, but obviously perspective is not the media’s business concerning all of this, isn’t it?

Oh it’s GOING to happen again but shutdowns were never before effected by prospective deaths, rather they came about by actual deaths...a lot of them. That cat is out of the bag. We haven’t heard the last of these shutdowns. They’ve got us by the balls now...

Today people can go to the hospital for 2 weeks and be fine until they receive their $400,000 bill. And maybe just a little lung damage.
