Larry Elder takes a look at two of the other major pandemics in history: the Spanish Flu in 1918 and the Hong Kong Flu of 1968. The response to these other pandemics varied from location to location, but what were the actual results? In comparison, has the response to the current pandemic been appropriate?

And they didn’t even pad their numbers with traffic accident and gunshot deaths!
Has anyone but me noticed that all it took was one stupid fucking cop and everyone forgot about the CORONA virus lie?
Because men were men back then and Donald Trump was not President.
Plandemic to stop the us economy and an independent western world!
TSUNAMI
Not everyone. ANTIFA thinks those stupid masks come in handy.
hell, we still staged Woodstock in the midst of the Hong-Kong Flu
… back in the day when American’s didn’t GAS about dying from a natural, yearly-recurring phenomena
Was Trump President then?

The Dems had no problems with young men dying in Nam at the time either.
TSUSNAMI gassed it….
No Russian collusion…
No Impeachment…
WuHan Flu…crush the economy…
The economy is rebounding…
Race riots for one idiot who murdered a poor dumb bastard?? …just execute the cop and call it even….
The bottom line is they are trying to shift the narrative again to not re-elect Donald Trump…
TSUNAMI & willysgoatgruff
Probably ups CNN & MSM ratings.
Make sure the sheople tune in for their daily programming.
I’ve learned to pick out the people that watch CNN, with their first response. Sound like drones.
big picture
the world is becoming an unlivable, infected, polluted shithole
amoral, perverted, godless, baby-killing, drug-addled moronic heathens rule the day
get used to it, permanent decline to leave behind for our children and grandchildren
compared to tomorrow, these are good times, so savor the moment
So far, 0.03% of US population has succumbed to CV, assuming that every diagnosis is valid. That’s 100,000 people divided by 333 million. Keep in mind that, obviously, about 1.2% of the American population dies each year (based on 80+ year average lifespan). And, also obviously, the vast majority of that 1.2% are old and have major health issues prior to dying – which the vast majority of that 0.03% have. Every death is a tragedy – including those from other causes. And we know that this particular disease is even more skewed towards the old and infirm than the annual flu. Time to recognize reality.
wake the fuck up.
We know this is swamp/fauci bullshit. Same with the rioting.
It’s just a shame Barr acted so late and so boehnerly.
Look, we are in a civil war. There is an free for all of treason and corruption. Barr doesnt quite get it.
