LOL this is ridiculous..this “New strain” doesn’t cause people to die more than the original one, viruses mutate, same with the flu, every year the flu behaves differently, sometimes the flu is stronger than the previous year..What the commies want us all to do is lock down forever..so we will be reliant on Govt..forever

Spanish Flu is H1N1. It’s in every flu shot given every year. Part of the mixture.

There is no presumption that it can’t still kill if antibodies forget about it, so the flu shots keep reminding them.

It’s so dangerous ppl have to take a test to even know if they have it.

Ahhh a new strain that’s how we keep it going.

Yup. Thousands upon thousands more people are realizing every day that the American election was stolen. And rather ham-handedly stolen at that.

BRING BACK THE VIRUS PANIC! THE SHEEPLE ARE ON TO US!

I predict a future where each Christian home in America will become their own 'church,' claim tax exempt status and leave Mother Government to STARVE TO DEATH.

Meh. I can dream, can't I?

Yeah yeah yeah, but why are they really doing this? I’m on an island that in the us news it’s reported to be the end of the world with the virus. As I sit by the pool with hundreds of others from around the world as well as locals, you would never know the virus exists. I also have a friend who lives in Italy. In March when the media was reporting the apocalypse there she denied the majority of their reports.

“Spanish Flu is H1N1.”

Yeah, about the same way a 1918 Ford Model-T series 3 “is a car”. And since cars are still on the road the 1918 Model-T series 3 is obviously still on the road.

Can you prescribe HCQ and would a pharmacy fill the script?

Odd, I just finished an article about this new virus mutation that wasn’t alarmist at all.


Odd indeed. Not sure of your source, but I will take information from a brand new video from Dr. Zelenko.

This video was just posted today from Dr. Zev Zelenko, creator of Zelenko formulated zinc, quercetin, D3 protocol.

He said this video is “most important one he has ever recorded and most important one you will ever see. He stated that the new strain is 70% more transmissible and more virulent.

It is an H1N1.

And H1N1 types keep showing up.

What is your point? That things are so much worse now?

Public health now requires POTUS to keep Congress from meeting until at least Jan. 7th.

I don’t know. I don’t treat outpatients and I haven’t tried. I assume a pharmacy would fill it

“The virus will do what it will do. the vaccine will play some part as will natural immunity. Way past time to drop all the restrictions and get on with life.”

Amen! I enjoy telling the liberals to go get their Trump Vaccine. I didn’t know faces could screw themselves into such shapes!

My point is that the 1918 Spanish flu virus is =extinct=. Just because it was an H1N1-type doesn’t mean it still exists because H1N1 types still exist. It took scientists decades to recreate the 1918 virus’s genome sequence from DNA fragments recovered from frozen corpses.

Stop Fear-Porn hype.

He suggested the strengthened measures could be in place for months, telling Sky's Sophy Ridge on Sunday: "It (the new strain) is an enormous challenge, until we can get the vaccine rolled out to protect people. This is what we face over the next couple of months."

Does this mean the new vaccines that just got approved like Pfizer and Maderna are not going to work on the new strain? Are we going back to the old Flu stories like, if you get vaccinated and get the Flu , it would have been worse if you didn't get the vaccination. -Tom
