Corona and other diseases

I didn’t think much could be dumber than anti-vaccine people, but these anti-maskers take the cake. Even with a mask requirement put into place in my city here in AZ, I’m still seeing almost zero masks on people. It’s depressing that people are too dumb and lazy for even self preservation, and that it’s everyone that’s going to deal with the ramifications.

I’m sure most of these anti-maskers are also anti-vaxxers.

Some more images from the Spanish Flu Epidemic for more historical perspective:

U.S. Army 39th regiment wear masks in Seattle on their way to France.

A barber provides services to clients in 1919 at University of California, Berkeley.

Soldiers from the US Army during the 1918 Influenza.

An open-air court proceeding being held in 1918 San Francisco.

A group of nurses during the 1918 Influenza.

An emergency hospital is set up to care for patients in Brookline, Massachusetts in October of 1918.

Workers from the American Red Cross tend to patients in a makeshift hospital set up in the Oakland Municipal Auditorium in 1918.

School girls in Japan wear masks to prevent the spread of Spanish Influenza.

Workers from the American Red Cross make a house call to a family that had fallen ill with the Spanish Influenza.

Like I’ve said many times already. We’ve literally learnt NOTHING during these last 100 years...

I gather that clip is made up of the 'best of the worst', but everything in that was dumb entitled nonsense.

Oh Lord those women have been everywhere. It's just a piece of paper or cloth that covers your nose and mouth. It's not like they're mandating the N95 or gas masks.

You'd think those women in the video were long suffering victims of extreme oppression, none of them have any clue what real oppression is.

The n95 is where we're gonna end up being forced to wear permanently if they keep this up.

I was given one and tried it. I cannot tolerate it for more than an hour.

 

[Erzengel]

When I read things like this what is what like when people were forced to wear seat belts and I'm like yeah, why would people be that stupid not to?

And again history repeats itself.

I'm hearing the County Commissioner in Harris may lockdown the county.

This is what happened last time. They wouldn't do a statewide lockdown or mandate face coverings and left it to the counties to make those decisions. Abbott simply gave them the option to do it. In other words, they would get the derision from Texans not him.

How did the Spanish Flu end? There was never a vaccine found for it so did it just mutate over time and stopped infecting people or was herd immunity reached?

If anyone wants to make a mask based on Batman 89 parade scene ones Joker and his gang wear, I would like to see it.

According to Wikipedia, apparently it may have mutated into a less lethal strain as after the peak of the second wave there were less deaths.

 

[terry78]

That may happen here or they just find something that lessens the chance of death, as I don't think people can wait for a vaccine at this point. If it gets to the point where you just get cold or flu like symptoms but don't die, that may be the best we can hope for.

If it got to that point it wouldn’t even be a problem. The chance of organ damage is what scares me the most outside of passing it into someone really vulnerable.

I love the United States and the American people but honestly, it's times like this that I'm glad to have been born in a more rational part of the world like Europe.

The US is a real place of contrasts, you've got people like Bill Gates on one spectrum and also the "liberty" nutjobs like in the videos in this thread.

 

[terry78]

We've always been a double edged sword regarding our freedoms.

 

[Schlosser85]

The defiant, independent "I do what I want" attitude we've always prided ourselves on is biting us in the ass right now.

That and this and the very fact that Donald Trump is POTUS is a culmination of us being culturally dumbed down for decades.

Angry Florida Man: The gubberment ain’t gonna make me cover up muh p**** let me tell yous why: muh freedumb! You been lied to! Just like with all the traffic signs telling you what to do! Taxes - don’t tread on me! I am not a rabid dog!

Stupidity and Selfishness are glorified in American culture so here we are.

The mere fact the DOJ had to confirm these were fake is sad.

I'd love to take that from some smug Karen and throw it in the garbage can.
