Our world has changed and not for the better. As I've said time and again, the media has a larger influence over our lives than ever before. It is undoubtedly true that we have more sources to choose from today than we did 50 years ago, but it's also undoubtedly true that the media has become an ultra competitive space that has trended towards dollars over people, like so many other major corporations. And this is a problem mostly because ALL of the networks and outlets are doing the same shit, regardless of which way they lean politically and what slant they put on it. They ALL are invested in selling you stories that prey on your emotions. Point blank, period.

Please don't take this as me saying COVID isn't serious, but rather, that our response has been disproportionate to the impact/danger.

Carry on.

Doesn't matter. Flu believers will always accuse you of thinking this is fake

[~primetime~]

must be an old image...covid is at 775k now...and India is currently ramping up big

also, if numbers are seen as low...would that not mean that we did a good job containing it?

and I'll be accused of declaring covid is black plague, but I'm not saying things should be closed down here in the US, I want things open (and most everything is open)

Covid19 has been an epidemic for what, a little over a half a year? A couple of the ones in the OP are the death count totals spanning over a hundred years, lol.

Covid19 will easily surpass 1 million deaths before it's all said and done.

[~primetime~]

What that break down does show is that Ebola was overrated AF

Ebola isn't the threat that covid is because there weren't a high % asymptomatics running around spreading it like wild fire....much easier to isolate and deal with the infected.

None of these numbers really means anything anyway.

Was Spanish Flu even "tested" for back then, or just presumptively diagnosed? How accurate was virology at that time? Do you think India and Brazil, which were barely developed jungles at that time, tested for Spanish Flu?? Who knows how many people were definitely killed by the virus, and how many were misdiagnosed, just in the US. Let alone places that were basically indigenous jungles around the world. There is no possible way to reliably know.

Bubonic plague happened in the ****ing 1300s. How accurate was record keeping back then?? The world was primitive as ****. That number could be off in either direction by 50 million. Who knows??


Bottom line is, the actual statistics from every era are compromised and are basically 'guesstimates' at best. Including today's, given the broad/generic nature of symptoms of corona flu and the financial incentives tied to positive tests.

At the end of the day, people who have intuition will draw their own conclusions. The portion of the public who actually HAS a reasonable degree of intuition is not very large, so the rest will simply rely on social cues provided by the mass media and their peers, to decide how they should perceive it. That goes for just about every social/political issue as well.

That's how it goes.

Lack of tests could also mean the spanish flu was way less deadly than it actually was. Treatment also wasn't very developed and people were treated in lazaretts. The moment cities and counties needed to treat covid in lazaretts the deathtoll rose. See Bergamo for example.


Thank you, sir.

Of course. It’s my default assumption that was the case.

Given the agenda-driven nature of covid and its dubious ascription as the cause of every malady under the sun in 2020, I have no doubt the same thing was happening a century ago with spanish flu.

Every day a sucker is born.

Happy Birthday.

What makes it especially damning is the population of the earth right now... 100 years ago there were 1 billion people. Now there's 8 billion. in the 1300's there were only 300 million people. That's 4% of today's current population... think about that and look at the figures again.

:biggums:

The spanish flu at 50 million... thats with 8x less people. So for COVID to match it proportionally, we'd have to see 50x8 ~ 400 million deaths to match.

I'm telling you... this is the biggest political hoax and power grab of all time.

Not only that but you must also consider the population size

250k gone in a population of 7.8 billion is very different from

200M gone in a population of like what, 500 million maybe? We didn't even hit 1 billion population until the 1800s.

[Cleverness]

great, now do DALYs lost. COVID-19 would be at the tail end of all of it.

median age of death ~80 years old with 2.7 comorbidities, people already dying of other illnesses.

If COVID-19 hit in 1917 it would have killed about 0 people.

[Cleverness]

sorry, i meant to say do DALYs lost and adjust for population.* point still stands: median age of death ~80 years old with multiple comorbidities

and main point: you don't use gov't to rob liberty & the pursuit of happiness and quality of life from 330,000,000 people for 6+ months (some have lost everything that matters to them in life) for the illusion of saving 0.02% of the population (median age ~80 years old w/ multiple comorbidities).

This really is the key point in the whole thing, and it really illustrates how readily today's population will give up the basic American values that our brilliant Founding Fathers carved out, and which countless immigrants and refugees came here for in the first place.

Today's weak, low IQ self-loathers don't really give a shit about the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution etc. They don't know history and they dont care about history. They need to OMB because all their peers OMB. That's like, the core value thing for them. History? That's for boomers.

It's all about fitting in with other green-hairs on the instagram, virtue signaling over anything mainstream news outlets say should matter.

A lot of parents have simply failed.

And when you think about the fact Primetime and Millertime are both fathers?

Can't help but feel it's just the beginning.
