Not once, historians say, did Wilson publicly speak about a disease that was killing Americans grotesquely and in huge numbers, even though he contracted it himself and was never the same after. Wilson fixated on America’s parallel fight in World War I like “a dog with a bone,” says John M. Barry, author of “The Great Influenza.”
In the manner of the day, there just had to be a catchy rhyme in circulation, too: “Cover up each cough and sneeze. If you don’t you’ll spread disease.” But the toll was heavier on average people and the poor, crowded in tenements, street cars and sweaty factories. Physicians, though, didn’t always know what they were doing. Medical journals at the time describe a rash of unusual treatments, some in the league of Trump’s amateur theories about disinfectant, blasts of lights and an unapproved drug that has both potential benefits and risks.
No, it’s not true that if you can’t hold your breath very long, you have COVID-19. Or that a vaccine from a lab only works on a disease created by a lab.
Thank you for bolstering my view. If this happened 100 years ago it would be recalled as a bad flu season, life/our economy would go on. People die, that’s life. Not 1 person is going to cheat death. Don’t count the days, make each day count. There are no guarantees, get over it.
Because it’s new. Clue’s in the name...
Just saw a clip on isreal developing a antibody treatment for the Corona virus. Says they isolate a great antibody that kills the Corona virus.
Science hasn't developed antiviral medications for new viruses.... seems like a lame statement or observation.
I suppose thats realDonaldTrump fault as well, might as well blame him, all the msm blame him for everything else...
I thought you were an unbiased organization but you must have some reporters who really hate trump. How about covering Sweden? I know it’s tough to say you were wrong but your fear and panic sales pitch is not allowing any other side to this.
100 years ago, they didn’t have the know-how. Now, we have the know-how and unprecedented Herculean efforts are underway. It takes some time. Slow the spread - it will come.
This is two month old gloom and doom news. You need to start thinking about all the people dying or going to die of cancer, heart failure, suicide, abuse, effects of poverty. Why are their lives expendable? Why don’t they deserve news coverage?
If this is an engineered virus, which appears not unlikely-having strong resemblances to both SARS and MERS- co-engineered remedies likely. The literature cites HCQ several years ago,YET popular media & bureaucratic orthodoxy do everything they can to deny efficacy.Smell test 🚫
They tried to reopen in early December Big mistake - and 'big' contrast to what's happening now
The difference is that COVID19 is man-made.
I think your graph might have a mistake. I think you fit the USA using a linear model while you show the other countries on a logarithmic fit. Very deceptive. You should really fix that. Here's a link from john Hopkins for your reference.
Due to a century of scientific progress, the Coronavirus, identified just 5 months ago, has been sequenced & computer modeled - as a result, there are over 100 engineered vaccines in the pipeline & EIGHT already in human trials. The is FakeNews
Educate yourself - vaccine research and the dangers
No vaccine for SARS either
BS!
Most people died of complications and not of the virus in the Spanish flu. Mainly bacterial infections where they did not have an antibiotics at that time.
The 1918 Flu also had sequelae, such as Parkinson's disease, which have not been documented as showing up yet which is another reason to fear this disease.
And we are nowhere near 50 million dead... how about we investigate China, it’s response and where the virus actually came from instead of fear mongering?
This post doesn't make any sense
was that as bad as the 1917 pandemic?
Check plasma treatment was used then & has been trialed now - not sure if more trials ongoing
It’s because of Trump! If Obama was still president, or a strong WOMAN like Hilary Clinton, we would never have been in this situation. We must resist Trump AT ALL COSTS and BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. As liberals, we are always justified because we have the moral high ground!
Thanks to bold thinking with only a handful of COVID cases in the US; the President stopped flights from China in January. The W.H.O., China & the Dems/ Media condemned him. He saved over 100,000 lives; modelers predicted 2.2m deaths.
There is and has never been a vaccine for corona viruses. Why is that? So now the people that take this NEW vaccine could possibly due to immune system to very negative effects. Please you look this up it is in the research.
human behaviour is problem, you cant trust people to do the right thing and look out for each other
Yet, most of the americans are not taking any learning from this century old wisdom. They are still demanding restrictions from the lockdown. They should be demanding action from authorities - testing, back tracking, isolating and supporting financially through these tough times.
That's an amazing point, I'm glad that you are pointing out that we have the cold and flu season annually every year!
So far deaths are about half those of the swine flu 10 years ago - or 49,750,000 less than 1918. Not exactly similar eh?
Yet millions of less deaths...
Awful framing of science in your article headline and tweet. You should know better of how science works with processes. It’s not magic! FailAp
I guess with technology, the vaccine will be significantly quicker than the 1918 flu pandemic though
Yeah yeah we know. We're all going to die. Whatever.......
The AP compares the flu with COVID. And says it’s far worse. And magically it should have lead to a 2019 vaccine?
20 years ago we had Johnny Cash, Bob Hope and Steve Jobs, now
Sorry but this statement is really stupid.
