mikey4691: It doesn't matter where flus came from, it matters what our governments are trying to sell us about this virus now.. Wake up..
Yes it does matter Mikey because it may be "history" in your books but it matters to us that have been accused of something which wasn't our fault. A case of in "denial" but you Americans won't admit defeat on anything. That's your problem

Miss_Cellaneous: I just need to clarify this. The SPANISH FLU did NOT originate in Spain. It came from America The earliest documented case was March 1918 in Kansas, United States . they only called it the "Spanish Flu" because the King of Spain contracted it before it became known. FACT
I was aware of that and simply used the conventional name.
Spain was one of only a few major European countries to remain neutral during World War I. Unlike in the Allied and Central Powers nations, where wartime censors suppressed news of the flu to avoid affecting morale, the Spanish media was free to report on it in gory detail. News of the sickness first made headlines in Madrid in late-May 1918, and coverage only increased after the Spanish King Alfonso XIII came down with a nasty case a week later. Since nations undergoing a media blackout could only read in depth accounts from Spanish news sources, they naturally assumed that the country was the pandemic’s ground zero. The Spanish, meanwhile, believed the virus had spread to them from France, so they took to calling it the “French Flu.” (history.com)
How do any of you know there even IS a Covid. What about all the other forms of germs, bacteria, disease, virus, colds, pneumonia, flu? How do you know you're NOT being given a false Covid positive, hospitalized, and choked to death with a ventilator? Because FAUCCI told you?? Because BIDEN is cracking down on you with mandatory? I am intrigued by your gullibility! Perhaps i should go hiking! And every GIRL i encounter is told that if she doesn't give me a ROLL IN THE BUSHES that she is at risk of getting Covid! So she thinks, "Well it's better to be safe..." So i get a roll! And im rollin there till im freakin exhausted! Maybe i should even CHARGE for it! "Covid Immunity, Because I Said So!"
