Spanish flu

Tell them they are racist.

You can't compare the 2.....different time different disease. The Spanish Flu was unleashed on unexpecting masses.

But didn’t the Spanish flu kill millions of people? How the frick can you compare these two things they’re nothing alike

---

Spanish Flu killed millions in a world that was far less connected.

Are you sure of your numbers? Biden said Covid killed 150 million just in America

And we all know he is on his game at all times. Iron-Clad Biden is what I call him.

This is much worse than the spanish flu, 3x worse

Tell them to read “The Great Influenza” by John Barry about the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918-1920. COVID doesn’t hold a candle to the pandemic. The world population then was about one-third of what it is today, and the Spanish flu was probably responsible for 50-100 million deaths world-wide, with the lowest credible modern estimate being 35 million. A comparable death toll today would be in the range of 150 to 425 million. And the Spanish Flu affected people in their 20’s and 30’s in the prime of life. Sobering read, but puts this pandemic in perspective. Even though the Spanish flu was that bad, they focused on isolating the sick, and didn’t shut the economy down. After all, we were fighting WWI at the time.
