It’s still fascinating to me that no one - not one reporter, leader, analyst of any sort has referenced the events both medicinal and legal of the Swine Flu pandemic of 1918 which seems to me a perfect parallel of what we’re seeing now from the spread of the virus.
And yet... our leadership makes no legal reference to the actions taken then. Our medical science (on which much of our hygiene laws are actually based!) seems ignorant.
Lockdowns and mask mandates DID occur back in 1918 - but there doesn’t seem to be a corollary attempt to invoke those laws in the same fashion.
Instead we have this totalitarian oppression (as well as a race war).
There are no SMART people in office except for conniving politicians who are stealing power.
Comparing public health decrees from the Spanish Flu to the last year is absolutely comparing apples and oranges. There were no state-wide mask mandates or lockdowns. Any restrictions were done on a local basis, and lasted just a few weeks.
Don’t go there.
