LOL jump on that ship. It’s sinking, that boat you’re in you just don’t realize it. Biden is going to plug those holes for you, though. I promise. He cometh to thy rescue.
More ad homonym attacks. They just keep showing their sheer lack of ability to think critically or even muster a sentence demonstrating real intelligence. At least, they have a candidate that matches their intellect/critical thinking.
I doubt that about WW1. But actually the numbers aren't the same. The deaths in war are totally man made. It is claimed that these are from natural causes or helped by China. The pandemic after WWI might not have happened or been as severe without the war. VN was part and parcel of the long term hostilities between the two world powers existing in the 1950s and 1960s. War casualties include loss of arms, legs, hearing, vision, PTSD. Don't forget Agent Orange.
The US entered late into both world wars, but especially late in WWI. The US had some extremely large casualty actions (St. Mihiel for example is the 2nd deadliest battle in US history with 4,500 KIA) but the US was only in the war for a little over a year. Our entry completely turned the tide. We declared war in April 1917 and Armistice Day happened November 1918. Nations like France, Germany, and the UK had substantially more casualties and deaths than we did.
Wow, I had no idea you were over there. I hope you have never suffered any ill effects, TUMe. Thank you for your service in Vietnam.
The US; however, was heaviest hit in terms of the outbreak during the war, and we were one of the epicenters of it early on. The first two waves traveled through the US by late 1918. (October was the deadliest month for it). The third wave in 1919 primarily effected Spain, Serbia, Mexico and Great Britain
Soldiers from Fort Riley, Kansas, ill with Spanish flu at a hospital ward at Camp Funston.
The Spanish flu, also known as the 1918 flu pandemic, was an unusually deadly influenza pandemic. Lasting almost 36 months from January 1918 to December 1920, it infected 500 million people – about a third of the world's population at the time.[2] The death toll is estimated to have been anywhere from 17 million to 50 million, and possibly as high as 100 million, making it one of the deadliest pandemics in human history.
Many of the Spanish Flu's illnesses lasted well passed the end of the war. Nice hospital huh?
This outbreak has been comparable to if not worse than almost every single flu outbreak in recent memory but it's done it in only in 2 months (compared to an entire year's worth of flu statistics) and it's done it while killing more than just the elderly like the flu typically has.
The comparison that I would make is in costs and benefits.
Yeah... sometimes when thousands of citizens are dying (not all the elderly in this case mind you).... people tend to have political opinions about the issue. That applies when people are fighting in jungles and rice patties, or when people are bombing federal buildings in Oklahoma City, or when they fly planes into buildings in New York, or when they're dying in hospital beds across the country.
Oh, so now we're gonna politicize selfies? Good. Let's get rid of them. Remember when you had to actually talk to a stranger to ask them to take your picture.... let's go back to that.
You do realize that no one is going to take the time to look into your propaganda? Pennsylvania just took off hundreds of COVID deaths, adjusting their statewide number to a lower number than previously reported, right? I have (somewhat) direct knowledge of this as hospital execs are inflating the numbers. The question is “are deaths up?” in general vs normal times & the answer to that question is yes in a few states but in most it is not. The H1N1 was worse in more states than this virus is. It’s important to not ignore facts that go against what you believe.
