In 2009, the Swine Flu,


I don't even remember swine flu
Nobody cares. Just checked fox, they don't care. Searched swine. Nothing, nada, zero, blank page

Don't like the corona virus ad that is so devastating to Trump, counter it with a swine flu ad ROTFL

I hope she fully recovers, as I do for any attacked by this insidious virus.

The only way she can get attention is by being part of the myriad of rich celebrities wanting everyone else to share the wealth (but not their own, which they could do without a government program) and attack Trump. Other than that, what has she done in the past four years?

That is because it didn’t have a press agent like this one does.

Despite five million new Swine Flu infections in the U.S. every month, and 1,000 Americans killed by it every month in 2009, the dems killed the funds to fight it.

Information learned from that research, may have helped in fighting this current pandemic.

The poster child country of S. Korea has continued to have new cases, 104 yesterday, and more deaths. For those who are paying attention I posted a while back the both S. Korea and the US were at 2 deaths per million of population. Both countries are now at 3/M.

So much for those that have posted that the virus has been 'beaten' in S. Korea by early testing.

There are about 7.8 billion people on earth. If 1.7 billion people died (21% of the population) we would still have just as many people as we did in the year 2000. In 20 years the population has grown 21%. I don't remember any particular issues in 2000 because we only had 6.1 billion people.

It is the agenda now of the mainstream media. South Korea--- good Trump response--- bad! Don't let facts get in your way.

How about this----- Italy.... socialized medicine LOW number of ventilators LOTS of unnecessary deaths
USA.... NOT socialized medicine HIGH number of ventilators NO unnecessary deaths.

By the way, I think yesterday coronavirus finally overtook the flu for number of daily deaths.

You can't beat the virus
It's about flattening the curve
