As those performing tests become more complete in their reporting of ethnicity, the percentage of Latinos has risen from 25% to 30%:
Why this constant racial identifications in CoVid statistics?
Why American life went on as normal during the killer pandemic of 1969
H3N2 (or the “Hong Kong flu,” as it was more popularly known) was an influenza strain that the New York Times described as “one of the worst in the nation’s history.” The first case of H3N2, which evolved from the H2N2 influenza strain that caused the 1957 pandemic, was reported in mid-July 1968 in Hong Kong. By September, it had infected Marines returning to the States from the Vietnam War. By mid-December, the Hong Kong flu had arrived in all fifty states.
But schools were not shut down nationwide, other than a few dozen because of too many sick teachers. Face masks weren’t required or even common. Though Woodstock was not held during the peak months of the H3N2 pandemic (the first wave ended by early March 1969, and it didn’t flare up again until November of that year), the festival went ahead when the virus was still active and had no known cure.
Life continued as normal,” said Jeffrey Tucker, the editorial director for the American Institute for Economic Research. “But as with now, no one knew for certain how deadly [the pandemic] would turn out to be. Regardless, people went on with their lives.”
Which, he said, isn’t all that surprising. “That generation approached viruses with calm, rationality and intelligence,” he said. “We left disease mitigation to medical professionals, individuals and families, rather than politics, politicians and government.”
While it’s way too soon to compare the numbers, H3N2 has so far proved deadlier than COVID-19. Between 1968 and 1970, the Hong Kong flu killed between an estimated one and four million, according to the CDC and Encyclopaedia Britannica, with US deaths exceeding 100,000. As of this writing, COVID-19 has killed more than 295,000 globally and around 83,000 in the United States, according to Johns Hopkins University. But by all projections, the coronavirus will surpass H3N2’s body count even with a global shutdown.
Aside from the different reactions to H3N2 and COVID-19, the similarities between them are striking. Both viruses spread quickly and cause upper respiratory symptoms including fever, cough and shortness of breath. They infect mostly adults over 65 or those with underlying medical conditions, but could strike people of any age.

**But by all projections, the coronavirus will surpass H3N2’s body count even with a global shutdown.**
Kinda’ important.
**”We left disease mitigation to medical professionals, individuals and families, rather than politics, politicians and government.”**
Ironic… considering that the medical professionals continue to recommend stay-at-home orders.
Yeah, that article doesn’t support the claims Revere has been making.
**Between 1968 and 1970, the Hong Kong flu killed between an estimated one and four million, according to the CDC and Encyclopaedia Britannica, with US deaths exceeding 100,000. **
Over 3 years the US saw 100,000 deaths.
We’re going to hit 100,000 deaths in about 4 months, even with stay-at-home orders in place.
I posit humans have weakened immune systems these days from the crappy food they eat, which is also why so many are obese, pre or fully diabetic and so on.
And the world didn’t shut down like it is now.
I don’t make claims, I toss out various information and like to see the reaction/feedback

“Life continued as normal,” said Jeffrey Tucker, the editorial director for the American Institute for Economic Research. “But as with now, no one knew for certain how deadly [the pandemic] would turn out to be. Regardless, people went on with their lives.”

Now we have the 24/7 news cycle and people have been trained to not think for themselves.
Yeah, but we can’t even trust people to take the word of scientists these days for them to see the world isn’t flat. There’s a level of truth decay in play that’s causing people to disregard these medical reports and officials.
Also… key point: The world is very different than it was from 1968-1970. The way we travel is different (both within the country and outside). The technology is different. The medicine and science are different. We know a helluva lot more now than we did 50 years ago, thankfully.
Your own article says that we’re expected to surpass the death totals from that three year period, and as I already pointed out, we’re already almost there in a 4 month period.
You may be right that part of the problem is that are immune systems are different. But that doesn’t exactly support the points you’ve made. And, once again, you agree with me on one of the key points:
“We left disease mitigation to medical professionals”
The folks screaming about opening up the economy as soon as possible are not listening to the medical professionals.

Alabama snake is a Greta Thunberg groupie ……. shame on you Alabama.
She’s mentally challenged, a lot more you.
When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is liberty.” — Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)
To Thomas Jefferson, the fulcrum between the people and the government they have elected was fear.
He argued succinctly that the government would only respect liberty if it feared losing power.
Today, the relationship between people and government is power.
Does the government have the power to tell us how to make personal choices, or do we have the power to tell the government to take a hike?
Stated differently, does the government work for us or do we work for the government?
Totally bogus lies. None of what the posters say is true, either. Humans do NOT have immune systems. Just another jargon word they taught you that doesn’t exist. We are electric beings. Humans have been getting sick and sicker since the electromagnetic fields have been altered. We are all suffering from ionizing radiation. The cabal is just using their programming of you to make you keep believing in their lies and fomenting fear of a “disease” that does NOT exist. When they ramp up the electromagnetic radiation with the new stuff they are willing to roll out they are going to blame all of those deaths on this current lie of a virus. If you cannot see how you have been swindled over ALL of this, you will definitely fall prey to what is coming. They have been lying for generations. Time to get smart real quick. Nothing they tell you about any of this planned demic is for your benefit. It is ALL about their new one world order that you willingly are accepting.
Nelson man is a typical dumbed down product of our degenerate public school system.
Race is important epidemiologically and virologically.
We already know blacks commit 79% of the rapes in IL but are only 12% of the population.
Why is that Nelson?

Great substantive response – much appreciated.
A lot more you.
Re Lima Bravo’s “crime statistics”, below are figures from “Criminal Victimization, 2018”, a report prepared by the U.S. Department of Justice
Victims of violent crimes, age 12+
1994, 3.25% of U.S. population
2015, 1.00%
2018, 1.20%
Violent incidents by victim race/ethnicity
Victim Same Ethnicity Different
White 62% 38%
Black 70% 30%
Victims of Rape
White 1.19%
Black 1.26%
Hispanic 1.05%
Latinos don’t make up 30% of our population, so something is going on that is not yet explained.
Actually Cal, they do.
They’ve been coming here illegally in droves.
It’s called demographic displacement.
And it will end in violence.
Joe Biden, sidekick to the worst ever president of the US and worst ever leader of any Western Civilization nation, said on Moron Joe on MSNBC that 600,000 Americans have died because of the Chinese Virus covid 19. Six-hundred Thousand. This moron and imbecile is running as the best of the Democrat Party for president of the US of A.

Are there any statistics of percent, amount of illegal aliens getting the virus? In Democrat presidential debates last year, almost all Democrat candidates said they supported open borders and allowing aliens from any nation crossing OUR borders and coming in. Coming in without knowing if they have disease are terrorists, etc. Don’t recall specifically what dufus dope Biden had to say about this. If you are a moron, the Democrat Party has candidates you can vote for.
