"In 1918 local governments implemented similar restrictions on public gathering to contain the disease.
For instance, in 1918 the Commercial and Financial Chronicle, a leading business news outlet at that time, reported: “In Boston the question of closing the churches is being discussed as a mean of checking the epidemic. In Pennsylvania all places of public amusement, schools, churches and all saloons have been ordered closed until further notice.”
Dr. Rupert Blue, the then-Surgeon General of the US, explicitly deemed these closings “the only way to stop the spread of the virus”.
Notwithstanding, these social distancing measures did not come close to those implemented in the US today. Work in factories, mines, and shipyards continued.
It is useful to remember that a global pandemic doesn’t inevitably lead to a grave economic recession or depression.

Why, yes, I think they do.
Of course. Stop being so passive aggressive. It's transparent, and it makes you look like an idiot. Which isn't that hard to do.
Well, then you are just too stupid to bother with.
No, it's not.
Run away.
Thanks, I think I'll stick around. You are high comedy.

Did anyway see that Teflon Don failed history class? That's what your title should read. Don't you confirm things before you have a conniption? They closed plenty down but people were too wimpy to see it through. Sounds like you belong in the wimp class.

Not true!
Many things were shutdown by local and state governments during all three waves of the Spanish Flu, each wave deadlier than the one before!
What a misinformed irresponsible FUCK you are!
Teflon Don
I'm back baby
Dude, you are missing my point. I want New Yorkers to die from this. The more the better
Did you even bother to read the link dumbass? It doesn't support your claim at all. #moron
Cuomo is just a big of a lying dumb fuck as you are.
Says a left wing troll who NEVER has anything better to do than shit post. Seriously #STFUTrollshit

TARD: That’s not to say that St. Louis survived the epidemic unharmed. Dehner says the midwestern city was hit particularly hard by the third wave of the Spanish flu which returned in the late winter and spring of 1919.
Its odd that all the articles I could find that claimed the US shut down in 1918 seem to have all been written in March of this year....
For leftist dumb fucks; he said shut down the economy, not ONE city. Damn you idiots are stupid. No wonder you support the Party of the Jackass.
