This fails as a false comparison fallacy.I grew up in the late 50's early sixties. Polio. It was scary and much worse. The economy wasn't shut down then, why this hysteria NOW?

No, it wasn’t.I grew up in the late 50's early sixties. Polio. It was scary and much worse. The economy wasn't shut down then, why this hysteria NOW?
I knew kids in the mid sixties that had polio, well after the vaccine was introduced. But you overlooked the point...the world economy didn't melt down, people didn't shelter in place. What the hell is going on here?I grew up in the late 50's early sixties. Polio. It was scary and much worse. The economy wasn't shut down then, why this hysteria NOW?
If you grew up in the late '50s you already had a vaccine for polio. Its last wave was around 1952, when Joni Mitchell and Neil Young contracted it.
In 1952 there were 58,000 new cases of polio in the United States, with some 3,000 deaths.I grew up in the late 50's early sixties. Polio. It was scary and much worse. The economy wasn't shut down then, why this hysteria NOW?

The fight against measles would be a better comparison. There were very strict quarantines with that one.I knew kids in the mid sixties that had polio, well after the vaccine was introduced.

In 2020, after just three months, there are 325,185 confirmed cases of C19 in the US, with 9,267 deaths.
That’s why your thread premise fails as a false comparison.
Taking appropriate actions to save lives isn’t ‘hysteria.’

This sort of sophistry from the tinfoil hat/sky is falling crowd is just as ridiculous as conservatives lying about the outbreak being ‘contained’ and the virus a ‘hoax.’What the hell is going on here?
A media that wants attention, a government that wants control, an empirical medical community that is going to eat serious crow, a police state having wet dreams, ....for starters....

Measles is the most contageous disease known to man. They used to go to your house and nail the door shut for 10 days.far more contagious iirc.....The fight against measles would be a better comparison.

Then you knew kids who didn’t get vaccinated for polio for some bizarre reason.I knew kids in the mid sixties that had polio, well after the vaccine was introduced.
