I’ve always been at that stage. But had to rein it in given my previous profession. I do like letting my Freak Flag Fly.
9 days until the pandemic ends!
- Thread starter torbee
- Start date
Your first paragraph is some of the most jackassed drivel I have ever read on here.
I read that as if you were going to blow Torbee. Carry on...
No, it's not. The flu is much, much less contagious as well as being much less lethal. Suggesting people were going to die anyway is uniformed and callous.
The people who die are older (88% 61+) and have pre-existing conditions.
The data is right there. Look for yourself.
Tell that to the parents.

It's going to be a great couple of weeks. The pandemic is ending, and Trump said health care reform is coming very soon. I believe he's said many, many good things are coming in the next 2-3 weeks. Immigration reform, prescription drug price relief, a trade bill, and a very powerful infrastructure bill.
Suggesting that people over 60 are expendable and that their lives have little to offer is horrific. People like you would let injured people at ERs die without care because, you know, they're going to die anyway.
Shameful.
??? You want me to reiterate that you're insecure? This post does a good job of that.
Would you like to address that you were just proven wrong with a direct quote or would you like me to start referring to you as fraudriley?
You can do what you want. Did I claim there was no mistake and challenge anyone to find a mistake and then try to cover my mistakes and then when outed claim everyone makes mistakes? You're a joke and a fraud.
I misunderstood who MitchLL was talking about. The comments still stand and have been proven even more true.
You misunderstood, or a mistake, sh1t happens. Now let's all move fwd.
(At no point in time have I said I wasn't mistaken for calling that guy "stupid". I have said I messed up. See what I did there riley? See how that all works? 2.5 years man, your calling me a fraud because I called a guy "stupid" 2.5 years ago. And at no time have I ever claimed to be perfect)
I think it was actually a Coveted Silver Sow
, but I was rushing. Glad it connected. Lol.No - you said you had never done it and challenged anyone to find something otherwise. You tried to hide under a new monkier. You're a fraud. With no honor.
And then you found one example, 2.5 years ago, of me calling someone stupid and I said "yupp, you got me". See how that worked?
O jeez. Dare I ask how far back you looked or what names you think I have used?
Ask all you want. You're a fraud no matter what names you use. And have been for some time.
Do you think the flu would be considered more contagious if over 1/2 of the US didn’t get the flu shot? Take a look back at 1918 and H1N1 and tell me it’s less contagious and lethal. I’ll give you a couple hints. H1N1 killed over 50 million globally. In October 1918, the flu killed over 195,000 in the US in just one month. Comparing the present day flu with a vaccine, to the novel COVID-19 doesn’t work.
That's over 100 years ago without the aid of knowledge and technology we have now. It spread because the efforts to contain it were very late and antiquated by today's standards. And the fact that the flu has been around is what makes it much less lethal today. Comparing C19 to the rise of the Spanish Flu is apt only in evaluation how they can spread. We have the ability (if not the will) to prevent it now that was not available then.
At least he's not an anonymous fraud.
What do you do and how much do you make big guy?
Where are you getting your data on H1N1? Links?
Between April 12, 2009, and April 10, 2010, the CDC estimates swine flu caused 60.8 million illnesses, 273,304 hospitalizations and 12,469 deaths in the U.S.
Globally, an estimated 151,700 to 575,400 people died from swine flu in the first year of the pandemic.
We have the ability? How’s the world doing with that?
We also did not have the massive population in our country in 1918. People were much more spread out. We also did not have mass international travel by plane. Wouldn’t you say our efforts to contain covid are “late” and “antiquated”? Separate and wear a mask, that sound so modern!
From the CDC: “While the 1918 H1N1 virus has been synthesized and evaluated, the properties that made it so devastating are not well understood. With no vaccine to protect against influenza infection and no antibiotics to treat secondary bacterial infections that can be associated with influenza infections, control efforts worldwide were limited to non-pharmaceutical interventions such as isolation, quarantine, good personal hygiene, use of disinfectants, and limitations of public gatherings, which were applied unevenly.”
Crazy how not much has changed in 100 years On how to fight this, except we have 3 times the population and our travel is light years more convenient and abundant.
Well, many parts of the world are doing well. The US, not so much.
Some of the methods that they learned in the 1918 still apply today (masks and separation) but they've been ignored or even discouraged by leadership which is a big reason for the issues we are seeing now. The Spanish Flu should serve as a lesson for us - cities that closed down sooner and for longer period fared much better both health wise and financially than those who opened more quickly. But again, that has gone largely ignored.
Still, we have far, far more ways to isolate and disinfect ourselves today. We also have tremendous technology to treat those infected and develop a vaccine or other remedy. We are in much better position to fight this pandemic today than we were 100 years ago. Hopefully our leadership doesn't undermine it so much that we end up like 1918.
Still call bullshit on a guy getting a viral infection, getting his leg amputated, and not having some preexisting conditions.
It would take a pretty small man to be so wrapped up in hate you would wish that on anyone. Best of luck to you.
Nah. Just showing you the same indifference you're showing to others who have suffered and died from this.
