All the progressives want to lock everything down forever. They'll site the 1918 and 1968 epidemics as reasons to fear that everyone is going to die!!! Contrary to popular progressive propaganda the 1918 and 1968 epidemics proved to be most fatal to the elderly and very young...

Let's think about that... How many old people such as grand parents and great grandparents lived at home with their children and grandchildren who went to work and school during both of those epidemics?
I'll bet it was a lot of them since nursing homes and other types of elderly care facilities were not as readily available during those time periods. Which in turn means that the death toll at that time would have been substantially much higher than a country where the elderly can be placed and isolated in nursing homes.
Is it any wonder when governors and mayors put people who test positive in the nursing homes that they are the ones experiencing the highest numbers of Covid deaths?
How many would have died if all of the governors and mayors had done so?
Right now the CDC says that the actual numbers for Covid deaths is only about six percent of what's actually being reported.
That makes the death rate no worse than the common flu.
Shall we close everything down for the common flu and pneumonia?
Sounds like it.
