1918 Spanish Flu:

675K deaths / 100 million people.

COVID:

150K deaths / 350 million people.


Apples and oranges... that was a real killer. That effected many young people since it caused a "cytokine storm" in people with healthy immune systems which led to people's own defense system shredding their lungs. While COVID otoh by and large affects the old and weak. Even with all the falsified for profit classifications of COVID this year, we still cant come close to even touching the Spanish flu.

I get why people who are concerned would wear a mask.

What I don't get is why they're so obsessed with making other people do it. If the mask protects you... then you're fine. Wear your mask. Why the rabid policing of everyone else?

Are they insecure about looking like chumps if they're wearing a mask around the girls and a bunch of other people aren't? Or they're afraid a bunch of people not wearing masks will be fine and maskers will feel publicly embarrassed for being on the 'wrong' side?

Like if you're afraid of the flu virus, put a mask on. You're seriously gonna fight someone else over whether they do??

seems like you perception is quite backwards. employees and businesses owners politely asking customers to wear a mask isn't the obsession, just a simple rule that probably most are exhausted dealing with. the obsession comes from the karen's and manchildren throwing public tantrums over such a minor inconvenience. one that is temporary and won't even exist months from now, but to them it's slavery and totalitarian. and we know this because the overwhelming amount of viral videos popping up hourly, disturbing behavior from grown adults. not being able to get your big mac without a mask isn't stripping your freedom

Have there been many public demonstrations over the masks? I thought those were mainly about mandatory government shut downs.

I agree a biz can do what they want with masks. Most are only doing it for lawsuit reasons. Business owners tend to be more independent, fearless types who dont jump up on a chair when they see a spider or the flu virus. But they gotta go with the whole flu virus scary thing to prevent employee lawsuits.

I think people are mainly annoyed by the alarmism. Remember when Al Gore predicted Miami would be underwater by now? In his popular, award winning, scientific documentary, he predicted Miami would be submerged right now in 2020. Science.

And you had a ton of people see the documentary and take to the streets screeching about ManBearPig.

my workplace requires a mask for employees but not customers. however it's not a service industry with high traffic, just mostly sub-contractors and laborers. not many gripe anymore as they did in the beginning, most have found comfortable reusable ones cheap off ebay/amazon with under armour breathability. even though we all have different opinions and political ideals one thing is a overwhelmly assured, we'll all be out of work again if the contagion spikes in our area as it did in April. many of the guys in shipping and entry level i talk to still have not received their stimulus and some even haven't been approved for the unemployment benefits filed back 3 months ago. i can understand why some people do get frustrated if people are still actively grouping close in public areas without them. it indirectly puts their livelihood and their families at financial risk

Yeah. My other issue with this thing is the data on "spikes" isn't very reliable because of government incentives for hospitals to report cases as corona instead of anything else.

Even with widely available testing now, stats aren't entirely reliable. For instance NFL QB Matt Stafford received a false positive test. That probably got chalked up on official government stats as another corona case, and was it ever corrected by the time his second test came back negative? I have my doubts. I imagine that isn't an infrequent occurrence either.

I guess people also have varying opinions on how much each person owes their neighbor. If my neighbor is 80 years old, or if he's 50 years old and smokes and eats garbage... do I owe it to him to have my life rearranged for his safety? The virus apparently doesn't affect a large cross section of the population like other diseases, or other catastrophes like lightning strikes or car accidents. We know who is vulnerable. They largely made themselves vulnerable, so it should largely be on them to take the necessary precautions. And if they're old... that's part of life. If I could end this corona hysteria by signing something that says I wont be owed a single damn thing when I'm over 75, I'd do it in a second.

But a lot of folks in the population have this 'conquistador' mentality where they have to rescue everyone by telling them all what to do and guilting them into compliance. I find it frustrating personally because I'm more of a pragmatist. But on the other end of the spectrum you have these high strung, neurotic types like ItsMillerTime, who have a mental breakdown if everyone isn't conforming to the latest trends in public conformity. So it seems like an inevitable recipe for conflict.

it makes you question what the current death toll would be today if digital information applied as it was in 1918. the first public radio network didn't even exist until 1949. covid-19 would run through cities and towns before warning or leaflets could be dropped. the spread of the virus would be faster than the spread of information. and yet today we have instantaneous coverage and covid-19 still wrapped the globe in only about 3 months. which brings up the question, would the spanish flu death toll be the same with live radio, television and media? the conditions are entirely different that any comparisons aren't very compatible. and even so with that much difference in technology and research, humans knew a single strip of material over their mouth and nose seemed to reduce spread

More like, mask wearing was compulsory in certain areas while the Spanish Flu was wreaking havoc until it passed, then wearing masks was no longer necessary to the point that we don't even remember that it happened.

They had longer lockdowns (few separate lockdowns in fact during each of the 3 waves over two years) during the 1918 pandemic, yet as soon as the pandemic ended, they followed that up with the roaring 20s. They had no lasting effects from their pandemic shutdowns. They returned right to business.

prior to obesity became the #1 health concern for America, people viewed the event part of the natural selection/evolution process, those who deemed to have a weaker body were cast away given 2nd consideration instead of being viewed as primates for off-springs.

but a samurai mentality (here's your daily pick up of Chinese food) was probably played out by the elder community of grand parents. with a flu like this, perhaps even just a few apple from the tree to pass on the legacy is the wiser choice than having five apples that may never become fruitful.

Higher chance of the virus staying with you and not falling onto the surrounding environment/ surface.

Let's say you're sick and you dont know it. Just breathing / talking can release droplets. If a mask can stop droplets from leaving your mouth then it protects others.

If droplets fall from your mouth and onto a surface. Someone else can touch that surface, touch their face and get sick.

How do you still need someone to explain this to you?

From what I understand masks are more effective in preventing the mask wearer from spreading a virus or bacteria than it is in protecting the mask wearer. They want you to wear a mask to prevent you from infecting others, not just for self protection.

Does this even need to be said anymore?

Covid-19 is actually one of the least deadliest pandemics of all time.

This year roughly 1,500,000 will die with Covid-19.
The 1918 pandemic was quite serious; 50,000,000 died from it. Adjusted for today's population, that would be like 205,000,000 dying from COVID.
But wait, there's more:

The average age of death from the 1918 flu was 28 years old.
Covid-19 median age of death is roughly 80 years old already dying of multiple illnesses.

COVID-19 hospitalization rate is less than flu and hospitals are emptier than ever. This is quite remarkable for "The Greatest Health Crisis of our lives."

So you're saying that we have better health care and public sanitation 100 years after the Spanish Flu. Good to know. We are nowhere near the end of the Covid-19 Pandemic. Infection numbers are going up, not down. Let's see what the number look like when the virus has run its course in.... three months? Six Months? A year?

Give me a prediction about when Covid will finally be eradicated, and how many people will die between now and then.

Millions will die before it's eradicated. Heart disease alone killed 680,000(?) people last year.

Luckily the median age of those who die with COVID live longer than people who die without it.

Luckily the hospitalization rate of COVID is less than seasonal flu.

Some bad news... an additional 130 million will be pushed to the brink of starvation due to the pseudoscientific lockdown madness across the globe, and millions of people will die much younger deaths because of the crazed response.

But the Center for Disease Control director said:


"These face masks are the most important, powerful public health tool we have...I might even go so far as to say that this face mask is more guaranteed to protect me against COVID than when I take a COVID vaccine."

Except the Flu Associated Hospitalization last year was 19292. The worst Flu season in 2018 had 29632 positive PCR Flu hospitalization. That’s far cry from Covid hospitalization which is 500 K and counting . It will take 20-25 years to get that level.

Except everyone hospitalized for any reason isnt automatically tested for the flu virus; in fact they rarely are. If they were, the numbers would be far far greater. Whereas anyone who enters a hospital for any reason now is immediately tested for covid and if positive theyre counted (often multiple times) as a virus hospitalization even if it’s not actually causing their malady.

Also you have a penchant for incorrect data so Ill assume your numbers are bogus anyway, but regardless, the logic remains the same. Covid is nothing to overhaul society over. Not even remotely close. People are being outright conned while the media keeps the public’s dumb simple focus on the meanie Republican boogieman.

It’s the same ol song and dance, generation after generation.

Except everyone hospitalized for any reason isnt automatically tested for the flu virus; in fact they rarely are. If they were, the numbers would be far far greater. Whereas anyone who enters a hospital for any reason now is immediately tested for covid and if positive theyre counted (often multiple times) as a virus hospitalization even if it’s not actually causing their malady.

Also you have a penchant for incorrect data so Ill assume your numbers are bogus anyway, but regardless, the logic remains the same. Covid is nothing to overhaul society over. Not even remotely close. People are being outright conned while the media keeps the public’s dumb simple focus on the meanie Republican boogieman.

It’s the same ol song and dance, generation after generation.

LMAO. :roll:


I was talking FACTS and you’re speaking probabilities . Lol

You failed to indicate that Flu has a flu vaccine and anti viral drug that kill the virus.

So people that have to go to hospitals are not sick enough. Lol

and Positives test become multiple times

That logic of oxymoron

of thinking reinfection happen multiple times while me while being hospitalized

250 k of deaths and still you’re on Denial stage.

92.3 % of those who died has Covid as underlying cause

Get it over it.

Vaccines is just around the corner.

Do you hear yourself?

"WHO CARES IF IT HELPS BY 1%, JUST DO IT ANYWAY BECAUSE WE'RE ALL DOING IT!!!!"

Every year we could prevent the regular flu by 1% (or more) if we wear masks and social distance, but we never do. And every year people die of the flu. It's part of life. But you never complained before.

Only now that the government/media has made it "a thing," only now that "everyones doing it" you demand mask conformity like some Puritan ready to burn a witch who has the audacity to flout your personal belief system.

Like, do you seriously hear yourself?

"WHO CARES IF IT HELPS, EVERYONE IS DOING IS SO JUST DO IT!!!!!"

Legit scary that we have plebs this emotional over shit that doesnt make sense. Impossibly low self awareness.



Major, MAJOR yikes.

Its actually really sad how much you care about what others think of you. People with low self esteem who cant handle wearing a mask in public.

Asian countries wear a mask in public even when they have the common cold.

Here in West, people care so much about what others think of them, they'd rather kill someone than look stupid in a mask.

When it comes down to it. Asian countries handled this virus. We didnt, but instead argued for a year about what we should do about this virus.

Asians acted. We just debated.

Because the virus actually originated there, hmm?

Didnt come from Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong, etc.

And even if did, what does that gotta do with anything? Point is the virus is still spreading here and all we do is debate about it. It's been a damn year and we're still debating about what we should do.
