Did you know the Spanish flu started in the US and is only named the Spanish flu because the Spanish identified it?
RVME
It's really the reverse. They are forcing the government's hand to become fascist. They will be the last to know.

1000 of the 1400 deaths in Minnesota are people over the age of 85. 80 % of all deaths came from nursing homes. So...

Yeah, but that NOSE!

The sign on the right reads "Wear a mask or go to jail"

History "repeeps". Philly mayor staged a war bonds rally in spite of warnings. 2nd Spike beat the first one easily. Classic mayor shit.

Sorry, but in the USA we lost a lot after WWI. That is when the Red Scare started and the U.S. became a military industrial complex.

Remember when, shortly after, fraudsters played with fake stock market money and crashed the economy of the entire country?

Years of deregulation and unfettered capitalism leading up to that.

No but we are missing our liberties from politicians abusing the pandemic for laws that would have these guys hanged for appealing to them.
Masonrig
I mean, we lost significant parts of it in the 60's-80's but that wasn't related to masks ?
JollyJokzr
Weren't the hospitals in the worst states full a week ago? You need to start shipping patients abroad about right now
Mewmus
seems like the only people I see bitching about masks are imgurians making posts bitching about people bitching about masks

Then either you must be in a social bubble or in a hot spot that was so bad that no one can deny the need. I have seen it a lot.
VagisilToothpaste
And just imagine what the death toll would be up to now if medicine hadn't advanced as much as it has. Truly scary shit.

No I don't remember that at all, where are the statues to let us know?!

That’s the spreader
GrandPubabofMoldistan
Admittedly this plague is where masks were determined to work to prevent spread so we can give her a break
Goofingoff
They only work if you use them properly. Having your nose uncovered is like cutting the tip off a condom, your wearing one but its useless.
GrandPubabofMoldistan
Oh yeah absolutely. But the 1918 flu was when they determined masks work so she had at most 6 months of information about masks
GrandPubabofMoldistan
So in this *specific* circumstance it is more excusable than people who have literally been educated in how to wear a mask

I wonder how these jokes will be looked back on. Will new ones still come?

No new plagues until you finish the first one

We still have more plague at home

But...but that man over there got a new plague.

You need to finish your old plague before you get anymore

Culling the heard. Mother nature does it all the time. But people lose their shit when it happens to us.
ImAGrower
THIS! Went to school for biology and natural science. Humans need to start letting nature take it's course more. But we are so scared we do
ImAGrower
Everything to stop it and wonder why we have such issues with populations and over use of resources.

I was told this in 1985 by my friends dad. We will never kill ourselves by a 3 WW, but by poisoning our ground water, because of to many ppl

Why we no call corona the Chinese flu. It came from there unlike Spanish flu
tls72
I like Kung Flu better
TheCapedCommentator
Actually the Spanish flu originated in China too
LullabyJones
Uh, because the flu of the 1918 didn’t come from Spain at all? And was just as racist as “Chinese virus”?
superseriouscomments
I thought it was called Spanish because they actually reported on it, unlike the other countries who censored the press?
LullabyJones
The 1918 flu came from Kansas.
lalalalsblablabal
Origin of the Spanish flu is disputed but it’s didn’t originate in Spain. Could be China for all we know.
CoyoteWill
Kansas..........

Remember when, during WW2, to defend our freedom, people couldn't travel, everything was rationed, and the power went off at 9pm?
JollyWatson
I think a big issue is how "us versus them" our politics has become. "If liberals want masks, then they're up to something" kinda thinking
JustFeedMePieDammit
Up to staying alive, what an evil plot
JollyWatson
I agree it's stupid but its the only way I can make any sense of the mentality logically

I'm not that old. Maybe when I grow up a bit ill remember WW2

It was patriotic to grow your own food Companies stopped normal production to focus on crisis at hand. Americans were encouraged to co op
Bmxtucker
This, by the numbers, is where everything that got us here began funny enough.
sangheraj
Co ops!? Sounds like communism to me! /s
VagisilToothpaste
Sadly that is the mindset of a lot of the people who are against co-ops, community gardens, home gardens, etc. I just do NOT understand it.

Now some places try to make it illegal to grow your own food because it'll make those companies poor. And somehow we've managed to >

asshole corporation like Monsanto own the "rights" to that plant. Now they can take all your money AND make you destroy your crops.
Highskyline
I also find it disgusting that Monsanto plants those gmo crops within cross-pollination range of properties they want to sue.
OtterlyMagnificent
That's one of our biggest problems. Megacorporations like Monsanto, Disney, and unnamed conglomerates owned by singular billionaires. They1/
