Why American life went on as normal during the killer pandemic of 1969

I am on public record here saying I have no opinion on shut downs. I defer to the expertise of public health professionals, like Trump's own expert Dr. Fauci.

I stopped reading after the first paragraph because you are going to have to up your game if if you want to interact with your intellectual superiors

I do not have an intellectual superior on this board as it currently sits,... so no, no upping my game needed. If anything I have had to dumb down most of my posts since coming here. I never used to cuss on line but since thats all so many do here I figured I might as well speak that way too so I wouldnt come off like I was speaking in a foreign language...

Rightys say the dumbest shit. We have over 100,000 dead. We used masks, social distancing, and gloves, yet 100,000 died. What would the toll have been without that? This is the worst since 1918 when they did the same things. It is more transmissible than the seasonal flu and more dangerous in spite of what Rush says.

Probably about the same amount. Next stupid question?

And what we have here as a poster who has no understanding of this virus, or any virus for that matter, nor events as they are occurring around him today, Trump knew they were out there even before he descended down the escalator

I can assure you I know more about this virus worldwide than any NYC puke like yourself. You may go now.

So why weren't the young fit and healthy allowed to go to work and the vulnerable protected. Do you know more than Prof. Gupta or Anders Tegnell about epidemiology, Nuttinberger?

When was the last time you were warned about 12b? Talking about somebody who is a member on this site getting "buggered" as a child is a violation. The mods are discussing this, if this is your first offense then this warning will suffice and we'll be done with it. But if this is a later offense you will be banned. Pay attention to this. This rule matters here.

It's not his first offence, second maybe even third.

We all understand that the 1969 pandemic was very mild as such things go....right?

Pompous, arrogant, hectoring and sanctimonious, that's our Crypiss t'was always so. He wasn't even alive in 1969, whereas I remember it well as I was in my teens.

Are you being sarcastic? 50% of the victims were under 65, it killed many young and fit people whereas this virus kills mostly the elderly! There were many that got it in Vietnam but I'm not sure if those got counted in the statistics for the US, I suspect not.

“Fewer people died during this pandemic than in previous pandemics for several reasons:

“Some immunity against the N2 flu virus may have been retained in populations struck by the Asian Flu strains which had been circulating since 1957”

“The pandemic did not gain momentum until near the winter school holidays, thus limiting the infection spreading”

“Improved medical care gave vital support to the very ill”

“The availability of antibiotics that were more effective against secondary bacterial infections.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong_flu

Flu is not a bacterium. It's a virus.
You are ignoring the numbers.

 

[Into the Night]

You are not a citizen of the United States, you do not live here, and our domestic affairs are none of your business.

Irrelevance fallacy.

 

[Into the Night]

It was not as transmissible. Corona is unusually so.

You are ignoring the numbers again.

I was there...I dont remember hearing about it...in fact that summer I took a week long train trip to the West with my Dad and brother....

I do remember having perfect attendance at school for three years running around this time...

I never got sick, not even a lick.

I felt gypped.

 

[Into the Night]

Do I need to repeat the facts again?

Your numbers cover nearly two years, COVID has done in 100,000 in three months. Today we have considerable numbers dying from the seasonal flu when a five minute stop at the corner drug store will give on the protection, so there are always going to be numbers of avoidable deaths

All these virus aren’t the same but COVID is new, novel, no existing immunities, no preventative measures

The '100,000' is a lie. Many of these cases were not Covid related deaths. They were records falsified by coroner offices, and later stuff made by various States. Why? To gain federal money of course, and for governors to justify their usurping power.

 

[Into the Night]

The number of deaths determines which is most deadly, not the age group.

Irrelevance fallacy.

There is no 'elite'. Sorry, you cannot justify an oligarchy or dictatorship that way.

Masks do not stop viruses. Their only effective use is as a lucky charm talisman. 6 feet does not stop a virus. Gloves are improperly used, and will not stop viruses either, the way people are using them.

It is not any more transmissible than any other flu, and it's the same vectors for infection. Most people who get it don't even bother with a hospital it's so mild. The people who are dying are already dying from something else anyway.

No, that would be YOU. You are a classic case of agoraphobia. You believe masks actually stop a virus. You believe gloves actually stop infection the way you use them and remove them. You believe this virus is an automatic death sentence (it isn't).

It is because you are illiterate about virus, about the N95 specifications, about the use of nitril gloves, and about mathematics, which show the infection rate is quite low (not even qualifying as an epidemic, much less a pandemic). It is also going down. The death rate too is even lower, and is also going down.

Not a vaccine in sight.

No vaccine is likely and the "experts" still have almost no clue how this thing kills us, or what to do about it, or much of anything else for that matter....
