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.

The bug missed me, even though I got a couple of bad colds during those years.

The bug misses most people as it is missing this pandemic. How many people do you know who were infected this time around. If they got it and recovered they are now potential donors of antibody laden blood. Very few infected people are dying. This is not the Black Plague. This is just a bad Flu season. The worst impact of this charade is that we may be required to wear worthless face masks every Flu season in the near future.

3. It’s been a lot longer than three months. Maybe you only heard of it three months ago but the rest of us heard of it last year.
So you’re saying it didn’t start in Wuhan?

It started in Wuhan but it was in Reno, NV by Thanksgiving of last year.

The latter has nothing to do with when the outbreak started in Wuhan. Public reports from Chinese health department officials began in December. It's May now.

IIRC correctly Catherine the Great had been vaccinated and she was a worldwide celebrity. Washington had the troops vaccinated and that may have won the war for the rebels.

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


Not really. The first cases were detected in the US in September ‘68 and it was considered under control by August 69. So about a year, not two.

And we’re finding that the first cases of the WuFlu in the US were actually last November, AND based on the population differences between 68-69 and now, that 100,000 is the equivalent of 165,000 deaths here in the US.

Really think that US deaths are going to double in the next 6 months since it’s taken 7 months to get here, and it’s already slowing down?

The first cases in Wuhan were reported at the end of December.

Where do you thin the virus originated?

reported

There have been some who say there are indicators marking Oct 6 2019 as the breakout. Do the search...

From 1964 until 1967, I did Top 40, but I was increasingly interested in “oldies,” which were played on weekends—”million dollar weekends,” as they were called. Then In 1967,I discovered KWIZ, which played mostly oldies with an occasional newie from the Adult Contemporary playlists—not a lot of contemporary Top 40.

In 1968,I discovered Chuck Cecil’s program “The Swingin’ Years” on KFI, which featured Big Band music from the 1930’s to the 1950’s. Progressive rock mostly turned me off although my brother was into it head over heels.

And you believe the Chinese?

The Chinese who said they had only 80,000 cases, but now it looks more like 640,000?

The Chinese who said no human to human transmission?

Those Chinese?

Here’s the first thing I pulled up.

According to Washington State, they’re now finding cases in December there. And suspect even early cases that they’re still checking.

So why would people think it originated in Wuhan?

The epidemic started in Wuhan from all publicly available data.
