Something like 90% of the deaths of the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic happened in the second wave as well. History is repeating itself because we're stupid.

I know the internet makes you stupid, but ffs, you would think with how available information is to people now things would be better. But, as it turns out, people are just loving stupid in general. fake edit: was it really 90%? that seems awfully high...

Found a pretty good write up. We are literally stupider than our predecessors quote:Barry said he is particularly concerned that cities and states are reopening while cases in their jurisdictions continue to rise.

in 1918 it was the tail end of world war one. people were already used to a war economy, rationing, and doing what the government tells you for several years before the 1918 pandemic hit.

Because the average American cannot fathom thinking ahead more than two days, does not understand math, and does not understand how viral contagion works, nor do they care. They only care when everyone around them dies in droves, but still cannot connect their lack of proactive thought to consequences. In essence, Americans are incomparably selfish. Seems to be a constant throughout history of whichever culture is dominant.

The president is an idiot, but hypersonic cruise missiles have been in the pipeline for a while. The Pentagon probably hasn't been calling them super duper missiles on account of not publicly announcing classified weapons development.

Some clown online was talking about how he survived the '68 Hong Kong Flu which was no big deal even though it was way worse that COVID-19 and kids these days blah blah blah   I actually went and looked up the '68-69 H3N2 flu pandemic and even though it did kill an estimated 100,000 people in the US, 70% of those mortalities occurred during a 6 month outbreak in 1968 and the rest during a milder second wave in 1969:  https://academic.oup.com/jid/article/192/2/233/856805 ..... and the first few months of the initial outbreak were 'sporadic' and it wasn't until after the third month (pretty much where the US is now with COVID-19) that the poo poo really hit the fan. Saying that the '68 pandemic was worse than the current pandemic at this point in time is real dumb.

redgubbinz posted:I've just been letting my hair (and beard) grow all this time who gives a gently caress lmao Yeah. To be fair I’m working from home & taking care of the kids, wife handles grocery pickup on her way home from work. I haven’t left the house/yard for much of anything in a month but to take the kiddos to each grandma’s driveway and leave chalk drawings for Mother’s Day. I’ve had a full beard for years but typically kill it to short stubble 2x a year (fancy work events that are cancelled this year, obv) so its getting a chance to actually bush out and get to duck dynasty levels. I’m loving it and excited to watch it grow like a beautiful child That said I will shave it in a hot second the moment I need to wear a mask with a seal. It’ll grow back anyway

I have a stock portfolio valued at $2,000 that consists entirely of cruise line stocks, airlines, and McDonalds. As a capitalist and titan of industry it is in my best interests to re-open the economy no matter the cost.

That or lifted from some wingnut who did that exact same thing.

So apparently bats are carriers, but buts are also all asymptomatic. So the covid can run rampant through a bat population without any effect. Don't you see? We can replace people with bats and open up! I'll send an invoice later today.
