I created this anti-lockdown meme. It’s a photograph from the 1969 Woodstock music festival, which took place during a flu pandemic that killed more than 100,000 people in the U.S., and more than 1 million worldwide.

You can see a bigger version at this link: https://imgflip.com/i/41quz7

It says:

The 1969 Woodstock music festival took place during a flu pandemic that killed more than 100,000 people in the U.S., and more than 1 million worldwide.

Schools, restaurants, and movie theaters also remained open.

I was there in August ‘69, doing too many hits of blotter acid to even remember the ongoing flu pandemic. Back then, it was just “the flu”, and not a pandemic.

This scam was created for one purpose only, to put the brakes on the Trump economy. It worked! Finally the RATs created a scam that worked. It’s time to put this pandemic in perspective and get on with reelecting the President.

Acid absorbs 16,000 its own weight in excess reality, AND it kills virus’s.

It took 2 years to get those 100k deaths in 68-69.

We're almost there in 3 months with extreme measures being taken.

I was definitely not at Woodstock. At the time, I was listening to music from the 1950's and also the '40's and '30's, and my record collection was starting to grow. I had discovered doo-wop music, although it wasn't called that at the time, and was grabbing every doo-wop record that I could find. KWIZ, a radio station on the AM band that played oldies and had a conservative outlook, was the soundtrack of my life.

The Hong Kong Flu, also known at the time as A2 Hong Kong '68, was in the news in late 1968 and early 1969, but by the summer, it had been long forgotten even though it would apparently be around for another year. The bug missed me, even though I got a couple of bad colds during those years.

If we tell both the chicoms and lefties to shove it up their totalitarian @sses the whole thing will be worth every penny.
