Wartime powers should have been used to censor the press. They are divisive.

Oh and that virus didn't come from Spain at all

Did he say it did?

His blog source did. Read its title.

Where did he say it came from Spain?

Do you know what the word "title" means??

But he didn't say it came from Spain. Where the author say the Spanish flu came from Spain?

This is YOUR argument. Not mine.

So send an email to the author instead of telling us all something we already know.

Once AGAIN ---- your source can't be bothered to figure it out, OR to take criticism, so what makes this blog "credible" at all?

This is YOUR thread and YOUR argument, not mine. It's not my job to do your blogger's homework for him.

Since he called it the "Spanish Flu" that discredits the fact that the Dow Jones went up those months and that unemployment was 1.4%? These are facts that was able to independently verify. If he misspells a word, does that discredit everything he wrote? The point of the thread has nothing to do with the name "Spanish Flu" being a misnomer.

Are you completely illiterate?

AGAIN what I wrote up there was --- IN FULL as opposed to edited down:

Oh and that virus didn't come from Spain at all; it was called that because Spain was the major affected country NOT LYING about it. Maybe your blogger with his nice "comments closed" section doesn't know his topic, ya think?

Don't sit here and try to twist my words into something else. I KNOW what I write.

When did the author say Spanish flu came from Spain?

Of course you won't see this post because long ago you accused me of using generalization fallacies, and when I immediately challenged you to find any, you couldn't do it so you ran away to Ignoristan.

You remember generalization fallacies? They look like this:

Talk to me when the left doesn't think....

Hypocritical punk.

My brother and his fiance just bought a french bulldog last weekend. Did they buy it from France?

Where did the author say the Spanish flu came from Spain?

Let's face it -- it's not a term. It's a turd he flings rhetorically. An undefined turd. And that's a cheap shot by a wag who has no point.

But the OP is using it as a noun. It's the first word in his title. Pluralized. That means (a) they exist and (b) there are more than one. Yet he can't define who they are.

The press was not allowed to panic the country in 1918 because the government censored the press. The stock market actually went up from12/6/1917 to 2/6/1919 and unemployment dropped to 1.4%. In fact, we actually had a labor shortage even after the troops returned from Europe and we even abolished child labor laws to put everyone to work. Compare this to the massive unemployment and lack of economic activity we are suffering from now. Americans will go crazy if they can't work.

The Dow and Spanish Flu of 1918-1920

Conventional wisdom suggests that a flu pandemic like COVID-19 would have resulted in a further decline in financial markets rather than a reversal of a long established declining trend. That was …

And we had two hundred thousand die in a single MONTH because news of the pandemic was swept under the rug and shit like war parades went on spreading infections.

Oh and that virus didn't come from Spain at all; it was called that because Spain was the major affected country NOT LYING about it. Maybe your blogger with his nice "comments closed" section doesn't know his topic, ya think?

That flu killed more Americans than all the wars of the 20th century put together. So "let's not talk about it".

What an idiot.

"Oh and that virus didn't come from Spain at all; it was called that because Spain was the major affected country NOT LYING about it."

We are all aware of this piece of trivia.

The 1918 flu was still not as bad as the Great Depression.

The Great Depression was not a virus. Who knew, right?

Might wanna tell your blog source about this piece of trivia. Oh wait, you can't. "Comments are closed". Ignorance hates comments. They're so ... challenging.

That has nothing to do with the Great Depression being worse than the 1918 flu. Anyone with a brain would choose a repeat of the 1918 flu over a repeat of the Great Depression.

NO Sparkly, I don't think they would. Entire families wiped out and/or forced to leave corpses on the front porch for collection? **** outta here.

Where the **** do you get this inane comparison from?

Censoring the press in 1918 prevented a catastrophe.

You spelled "worsened" wrong.
