they shut saloons, churches, schools, wore masks etc, in the cities during the Spanish flu.... The cities with restrictions faired better with fewer deaths, than those who did not have lockdown and mandates....So how many would have had to die of covid before you would want to restrict economic activity?"Are you saying that NO ONE has died of covid..."Still more hypocrisy. Are you saying that NO ONE has died of covid or just that money matters more than lives? Are abortions OK if the mother doesn't want to pay for their upbringing?The latest CDC numbers I found put the number of deaths from covid at 580,000. In a population of 331,000,000, that is a death rate of 1.75%. Less than 2 in 100. Not bad, unless you are the 2. The CDC also says the US has had 32,700,000 cases. That is a lot of suffering and long-term issues for many.The plural of anecdote is not data.First off, many have perished, some I knew, many more became seriously ill, and many still suffer long-term effects.I would certainly have been less cautious if I knew a helicopter would rush me to a private hospital suite and a team of doctors would be focused on me. And I had access to medicines not available to the public.An elderly, overweight President had it, and ten days later is doing two hours-long rallies a day.
Now....about this Democrat lock-down to destroy Trump's economic miracle, Hill reporter Joe Consha said the following on Fox. 10/6:
"The CDC said that between the ages of zero and 19, 99.97% of people survive the Wuhan.
....between 20 and 45, 99.98%
....between 50 and 65, 99.5%
....and over 70, about 95%.
I suppose everyone had their own helicopter, huh?
Interesting that many countries went into lock-down, were they trying to destroy Trump's economic miracle too? Many countries didn't go into lock-down or ended it quickly, Brazil and India come to mind.
I guess more deaths and suffering would have been worthwhile if they kept Trump's economy looking good. I see how you value human life.
There was never any reason other than the political, to shut down the economy.
Lose a few pounds, you'll be safe.
Quite the opposite.
People die of all sorts of things...and we don't close the economy for them.
Did they shut the economy during the Spanish Flu?
Oh....they didn't, but Trump wasn't the target then.
Did they make these orders to keep Trump from winning an election back in 1918?
sheesh....
