I know an article from 4 1/2 years ago, but it seems that virus's die out and mutate.

The black plague in the 1300's was caused by rat fleas bacteria on ships.

I'm a history geek, flame away.

1918 was a scam too that was ran by the govt on the US military. Then they put a misleading name on it.

The Black Death is the classic “scary story” about disease.
You can also point to Native Americans being devastated by Smallpox, Measles and whatnot.

But for many thousands of years, there was nothing anyone could do about disease. The disease comes to the community, people die, the disease goes away. Life goes on.

And people should keep in mind that in the past (ex. 14th century Black Death) people were subsistence level farmers, generally malnourished, no clean water, no aspirin for fevers, no great source of warmth in the winter, no great source of cooling in the summer. Getting sick was bad. You could easily die. And with the Black Death one third of Europe did die.

It's different today. In a worst case scenario, “lots” of people die and the demographic needle barely moves. Because the people who die during pandemics are overwhelmingly in their 80s. They were going to die soon anyway. I'm not being heartless, I'm just stating facts.

The panic and “mandatory steps” that our government pulled was far more devastating than COVID. And that will be true next time also. I do not support “drastic measures” by government because of disease. I don't totally oppose vaccines (polio vaccine was good) but I really do not think that human civilization requires vaccines to survive. They should always be optional.

A possible way to stop pandemics for good is to stop having elections.

The plandemic that was 99.9% survivable for people without comorbidities?

It’s not over yet?

Who knew?

The Spanish Flu became more deadly when government forced everybody to mask up and breathe bad air.

Something that Fauci should have known.

“How does a pandemic end?”

The H1N1 (Swine Flu) pandemic of 2009 ended in January of 2010 when Hussein & Biden (Potato) ordered no more new cases to be recorded.

See: CDC H1N1 2009

Some of these illnesses never existed until the low IQ among us thought it would be a good idea to make them in the laboratory.

Before 1917.

Viruses die and mutate, but pandemics never end because Karens don’t.

Coronavirus was not a pandemic. It was a huge hoax. Deaths from all causes were conflated to show larger fatalities, and older people were killed in convalescent care. China staged fake deaths to make us afraid which worked pretty well. The entire health care system of hospitals and doctor offices was shut down to keep them from being overwhelmed and people died of other causes because they couldn’t get health care.

The comparison with the actual pandemic was an advertising stunt.
