You need to look it up and get your facts straight. Nothing was closed until months after the Spanish Flu first showed up.
Ok nothing was shut down until "months" after it began instead of 3 months or however long it’s been (or if you are just counting the US then oneish). Point being we shut lots of american life down to control it’s spread.

This. Absolutely fricking nothing. Social media and the 24 hour news cycle or the winds that fan the flame.

Because there were literal bodies in the street. You don’t have to fabricate a Close to a million dead people in America and 50 million worldwide.

It would have been under control because Trump and his minions wouldn't be in office to begin with. The only reason he's in office is because of social media.
We would have had a leader who could deal with this. Not one that just heaps praise on himself every second of the day.
The first case of the virus was in January. He drug his feet denying it until the past few days. Tweeting to the masses that it's just the flu and no big deal.

What’s it like to be an actual tard? Do you freeze up when you have to make your own decisions if the all mighty media doesn’t tell you what to do?

Not a damn thing. People go about the daily lives. People didn't act like pussies back then like they do today.

Wack how he set up a travel ban on foreign nationals coming from China in January to try to prevent the spread of this thing which Democrats then labled as "xenophobia".
I get that none of that fits your narrative though.

Why institute a travel ban if its nothing?
He was clearly trying to prevent widespread panic like we've seen the last couple of days.

Not true. Look up the 1918 flu, they shut down school and such too. Businesses closing. Lots of similarities, probably would have been more except we had a world war going on.
In 1918, the global population was 1.8 billion and millions were dying from H1N1.
This year, the Chinese population is 1.4 billion and under 4,000 have died, even if that number quadruples (which it won't) over the rest of the year that will be less than 15,000.
I can hear the mouthbreathers now: "Chinese data, I need to go buy more toilet paper". If I can't use Chinese data, then you can't use Hubei data to fearmonger. Deal?
