What The 1918 Influenza Pandemic Can Teach Us About Coronavirus | The 11th Hour | MSNBC
Did they have a reality tv host who bankrupts casinos and sundowns at 6pm as President in 1918 too?
Swampy hey swampy 👋
@Char Stevens I learned something new today. Thank you.
@Char Stevens And apparently that inheritance started Papa Trump on his path earlier than he would have otherwise.
Democratic republican same thing.Sent Men to war ,imprisoned women for wanting to vote ,
@Scott Wilhelms is papa trump the pappy of Brainy trump the genius president???
Donald trump’s grandfather died in the 1918 pandemic…..Obviously it taught the Trump family NOTHING!!
@Eliza Grogan ok, try me.
@Anthony Goedhart 😂 that’s the best
@Char Stevens did you just misgender someone? Because Andrew is clearly a male. Seems you identity politics is falling to the wayside. Hypocrites make me laugh.
@Andrew Essence they learned NOTHING. They don’t understand WAR and silence. The world wasn’t told because a nation at war can’t inform the enemy of their weakened condition. These are young ignorant individuals. People who can’t even play by the rules they’ve tried to force on others. They are steeped in racism. They thrive off hatred. Stay safe! 😷
@Semper verum This is the post from the guy that called you out on reading comprehension…………

your not very smart are ya. clearly yours survived? what did you learn?)
US has enough nukes to destroy the world but does not have any PPE, ventilators , doctors , medical equipment to protect it’s own people..
Michael Gibb 23 hours ago, “President Eisenhower said it best …. ”
Yes, he really did, and YOU MICHEAL, are THE TRUE GENIUS, for resurrecting his quotation For this VERY APPROPRIATE SITUATION… THANK YOU.
@Junk Mail
All the initial American Presidents were racists , genocidal maniacs , white supremacists , neo Nazis and protectionists by today’s standards.
To quote even the supposedly best founding president of America would be a disgrace.
The concept of minority rights , women’s rights etc came to America only in 1970’s that too only partially.
Reconquista: Hinduism 27 minutes ago (edited), “@Junk Mail , “All the initial American Presidents were racists … “”
I’m sorry, You are sadly mistaken … AND FORGET WHO SAID IT, …. LOOK AT THE MERIT OF WHAT HE SAID.
@Reconquista: Hinduism , The Equal Rights Amendment was first proposed in 1923. Women were written out of the Constitution. It has been 97 years and the ERA has not been ratified yet. Karma is that 2/3 of those that die from COVID-19 in every age group are men.
@N S – We can corroborate *that…*
Abigail Adams, *specifically asking* “John & Thomas” *to include us* in their ‘historical document’:

Meanwhile, everything t’rump knows about healthcare, viruses, vaccines and public health, he learned within the last few weeks through the use of picture books. 😂
and fox news
@Russian Métropolitan trump is the smartest person in the universe…sometimes I wonder if he left his brain “where no man has gone before”. Such a genius💩💩💩
Oscar Master Fu Jackson it takes a genius to simultaneously give us a pandemic and bankrupt America
DON’T WORRY PEOPLE, Donald Trump THE ‘’STABLE GENIUS’’ IS AN EXPERT ON THE VIRUS….
He’s also an expert on Taxes, construction, wall building, campaign financing, drones, taxes, the Law, windmills, technology, Nuclear energy, the history of the Nation, infrastructure, he knows more about ISIS than the Generals. You name it, Trump is the genius~!
WE ALL NEED A GOOD LAUGH !
Watch it for yourself.
https://nowthisnews.com/videos/politics/donald-trump-is-apparently-the-expert-on-everything-according-to-him
also War, he knows more than the Generals, at the end he will declare himself Victorious on the pandemia, even if is not true, just pay attention to what he wants to do in the future with this, he will use it on his behalf……
Hard to believe the ignorance about how disease spreads. It ain’t rocket science.
That requires an IQ of at least 50 to understand,so Drumpf is OUT !
What’s hard to believe is people automatically believe the hype, failing to do their due diligence & *FACT CHECK* things. SMH
@Lincolnfrees Agree…must admit I’m not always the greatest at fact checking. Not especially well versed on how to do it, especially online. There’s so much garbage you have to wade through on the computer sometimes.
Looks like ignorance same as the spread of the virus
@carmen patricia conde fierro Yes, to some extent. But I think a lot of it also has to do with population density and how people move around and travel. Apparently many haven’t heeded social distancing – mistake.
People from my work went down there for a wedding, and came back sick! Now it’s spreading…..
From where to where?
Everywhere. It’s obvious that it was a perfect storm, isn’t it?
“Fall to your knees , and repent if you please !” -Judas Priest
#45✳ *promised* “American Carnage” in 2017…and he’s *’delivered’, 💯.* 👎
🤣🤣🤣🤢
Lol.. he’s the best !
If images from Spain and Italy would have been televised more in the U.S everybody would have learned faster as to what’s coming down the pipeline for us.Those images are actually a real time possibility to look into the future,but U.S media just ignores it.
Even red state knuckle draggers deserve better than to die that way. It’s not like it is a quick painless death, it is more like being waterboarded for the REST of your life! Smarten up!
N. deG I wonder why…. 🤔
Where is Spain?And Italy? Are they countries?
*Sarcastic
I don’t know what you’ve been watching, but I’ve been seeing images from Italy a lot on TV and other media over the past several weeks and from China before that.
Well, there is the Internet and other means of communication, maybe a friend, facebook……….etc.,not necessarily tv
1918 can teach us that there will be a second Waive of this Virus, more serious and devastating . Get working on this one and get ready for the second.
He’ll fire fauci by next week and defund all hospitals because they aren’t behind him 100%
NO-ORWELLIAN Dystopia only difference maybe we knowledge of the illness and hoping for drugs to help by then.
That only affects 20 to 35 year olds with strong immune systems. Check Wikipedia.
Gamecore would be funny..except it’s true

Update your information. Things are changing fast. Be proactive for your safety and health.
Take Covid19 seriously. This virus is now Permanent. Like Flu, it will come back every year. It may come back every few months, scientists don’t know yet. Do the right things.
From my research, this virus is much more stable in the way it reproduces than others and is less likely to mutate like other flu strains. It’s a little bit of good news.
impeached clown trump’s story will end badly.
when i was younger i thought it was people knowledgeable like this who represented our country. turns out my child brain was quite right but quite wrong. We need smart people like this in office, yet they are rarely elected. Insane.
That’s because they are smart!
Well you can count Trump out on telling the truth about anything.
R.I.P. Trump 2020. And they’re expecting 40% of his supporters to die in the red state’s,,,. !!!
Trump is a liar a crook and a thief whether he’s standing up or sitting down,,,. !!!
@Rick Simpson – really? wow
ceciliaFX yeah, really.
@Rick Simpson How is he plz change my mind
How sad, much of this could have Ben prevented by earlier preparation and isolation. 😪
Right ughhh 😠
Another lesson: you can retrospectively trace the path of the 1918 Flu pandemic in cemeteries.
HE will never learn. HE thinks that the way he is doing this is the right way. Everyone of the doctors are wrong.
Stay home
Stay safe
Don’t listen to Trump
Narcissists wouldn’t listen to YOU!!!!
👍
true , he did not listen to the Health Officials, he is only listening to “the voices in his head”
To the Cult 45 – We tried to tell you so, but you didn’t bother to listen. Now you are dying. What do you think of your Orange Savior now?
Dee webb – Trump called COVID-19 a hoax. I hope Trump and his cult all get the hoax and die. The world would be better off without Trump and his supporters.
To those that do not support Trump but did vote for him because it’s only for 4 years… what harm can he do …. think of this day when you cast your vote. Choose wisely.. no more social experiments… Please. I hope everyone don.t take this lightly and stay safe wherever you are.
@Junk Mail will you be one of the first ones to get the vaccine ?
RG GT 41 minutes ago Highlighted reply,”@Junk Mail will you be one of the first ones to get the vaccine ?”
Don’t see or understand why you would ask this.
Answering Your Question though: I really don’t think I would be “one of the first”, BUT, If “I’m not dead” I would expect, when it’s appropriate, to be standing in line, waiting my turn “like everyone else”. Would you not be?
@Junk Mail the vaccine will be worse than the cure look at the h1n1 vaccine funny how Bill gates owns the patent for the coronavirus wake up
Trump: we will all be better by Easter
Catholic Church: cancels Easter
He’s trying to start a war between the Catholics and the Protestants.
First responsible thing that the Catholic Church has done.
trump don’t care even he sees people are dying he only care of himself his money🤮
