Read up on the ‘Cordon Sanitaire’ of jacksonville FL during the late 1800’s yellow fever outbreak.
Plenty of healthy people quarantined during that one.
I know why Sweden hasn’t been hit hard...

Has nothing to do with any shutdown or lockdown policy. Has everything to do with genetics:

#ExposeCBS Michigan Health Center Workers Stage “Fake Patients” In COVID19 Testing Line For CBS News
What exactly is a ‘fake patient’ in a line to be tested?
Aren’t we supposed to be concerned about asymptomatic spreaders?

Check the map in this publication.
Explains the surprisingly ‘easy’ time of it Eastern Europe has had...
plos link. Thanks for that. Interesting.
That was then this now.
Corrupt liberal elites would love to put free citizens in death houses so they can come out of their million dollar condos... I think we need to leave ‘chinese hellhole’ tactics to China.
In the 1800’s people were still be lynched... and women didn’t have the vote.
Ask yourself is this the same country now as it was then. I think you know the answer.
You say that like it is a bad thing.
We probably wouldn't be here, on this board, discussing this if still true.
How little you know about history.
Did you know that in 1920 the communists detonated explosives on wall street?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall_Street_bombing
‘anti capitalist’ agitation was even more prevalent during that time than it is now. Believe it.
The ‘roaring 20’s’ were the only reason we didn’t descend into bolshevism then.
It was actually a near thing here.
The jacksonville outbreak was caused by a narcissist who didn’t believe he could be infected. And behaved accordingly. With no consideration of anyone else.
Narcissist spreaders aren’t a new thing.
Jay:
Every generation thinks they are special.
Every election is the “most important election ever”.
Every crisis means “we have now lost our liberties forever”.
I am too old to go there—after a while history just repeats itself, and everybody always thinks their moment is the most important one.
We will muddle through as usual—the nuts will be nutty, most people will step up and be great.
You are still comparing 1920 to 2020 and the comparison doesn’t fit. This hasn’t been the same country since 1960.
And yet somehow, Jacksonville survived.
As did all the *other* cities under cordon sanitaire over the years.
But how nice of you to link the narcissist spreader that CAUSED the jacksonville issue to ‘lynchings’.
Those are exactly the same.
And women not having the vote either.
All exactly the same.
Narcissist spreaders didn’t go away. Just look at the infection rates on LI from Manhattanites taking it there.
It looks like Sweden has a population of 10%+ that’s essentially constituently immune or very lightly symptomatic.
The death rate/infection rate there can’t readily be applied to any other country that doesn’t have that particular immune mutation.
It’s one reason none of the models accurately predicted infections/deaths for European countries in general, Scandanavian/Eastern European countries in particular.
And yet, pathogens remain the same.
And so do health policies that work.
Masks aren’t perfect. But reducing your initial viral load with one may be the difference between feeling bad for a cpl weeks or ending up in the hospital for a cpl weeks and a million dollar bill you’ll never pay off.
Tell that to the influenza sufferers.
You can choose to cede your rights to the overbearing powers that be I do not.
When this country get back to following law instead of relying on emotion it will be a much better country.
As far as the masks. The Surgeon General has already said that healthy people should not wear them.
