I guess people are still going to watch football this year? Seems like you’d have to really hate yourself to do that.

I don’t miss it

Obviously, but the Spanish flu could be passed on to. So what exactly are you trying to contradict? If you’re trying to prove to me this is a bad virus or that it will kill people- well I never said it wasn’t. 25% of the population probably will get this, it’s too late to stop it now. At best...

I’m basing it on facts. Those are two sentences that are facts. I’m not deciding anything, I’m telling you this is not the worst crisis in US history because the Spanish Flu was far worse killing hundreds of thousands of people who were perfectly healthy and would have lived for years. And it...

The person I responded to said it was the worst crisis in American history, so American history would be relevant. So no, it’s not useless. The Spanish flue was unique in that it was more severe among healthy people with a mortality rate that spiked among people in their 20’s and 30’s. It wasn’t...

Hi, can you show where I moved the goalposts with my quotes instead of ones you made up? The person I was responding to said it was the wort crisis in American history. I said it was not. That’s not moving the goal posts (assuming you know what that means.)

They were already partnered with China and funded 60 million dollars. It didn’t prevent anything because we still allowed people to come into the country from China. You think sending money to China would prevent this when the entire Chinese government couldn’t? You know what, that’s a great...

It’s still not a virus that kills young or healthy people like the Spanish flu did. Even if 25% of the population caught it like the Spanish flu it’s not as bad as the Spanish flu.

It’s a fact, that money was going to other countries. Do you really want to give money to other countries, when people in our own country need it? Thats pretty much the craziest possible plan.

That’s only because we have more than 3 times the population today. By that logic every flu season is the worst the world has ever seen because of the overall population. The Spanish flu was far more devastating. It was particularly deadly to people young and healthy. By comparisons the average...

So what country do you think we should be sending tens of millions of dollars to right now? China? You don’t think Americans might need that money?

That money was for OTHER countries. You think we should send 120 million to other countries to deal with this? Maybe we should spend that on our own people.

The masks the surgeon general says aren’t effective? Totally irrational. The Spanish flu for instance killed completely healthy people all the time, and it happened DURING WW1.

As a matter of fact, it is enough. Keeping infected people away is the ONLY thing that prevents the spread. Testing itself doesn’t prevent the spread unless it’s accompanied by a change in behavior. Plenty of people just do whatever they want.

We should have listened to the left when they screamed about closing the borders I guess.
