    Woodstock Occurred in the Middle of a Pandemic

    -In my lifetime, there was another deadly flu epidemic in the United States. The flu spread from Hong Kong to the United States, arriving December 1968 and peaking a year later. It ultimately killed 100,000 people in the U.S., mostly over the age of 65, and one million worldwide.

    Lifespan in the US in those days was 70 whereas it is 78 today. Population was 200 million as compared with 328 million today. It was also a healthier population with low obesity. If it would be possible to extrapolate the death data based on population and demographics, we might be looking at a quarter million deaths today from this virus. So in terms of lethality, it was as deadly and scary as COVID-19 if not more so, though we shall have to wait to see.

    "In 1968/69," says Nathaniel L. Moir in National Interest, "the H3N2 pandemic killed more individuals in the U.S. than the combined total number of American fatalities during both the Vietnam and Korean Wars."

    And this happened in the lifetimes of every American over 52 years of age.

    I was 5 years old and have no memory of this at all. My mother vaguely remembers being careful and washing surfaces, and encouraging her mom and dad to be careful. Otherwise, it's mostly forgotten today. Why is that?

    Nothing was closed by force. Schools mostly stayed open. Businesses did too. You could go to the movies. You could go to bars and restaurants. John Fund has a friend who reports having attended a Grateful Dead concert. In fact, people have no memory or awareness that the famous Woodstock concert of August 1969 – planned in January during the worse period of death – actually occurred during a deadly American flu pandemic that only peaked globally six months later...

    There's one significant difference, it was just another flu virus. The kind that shows up in new incarnations all the time along with the rhino virus (the common cold). It wasn't a new virus like the sars virus which has previously produced zero pandemics. What would the sars virus eventually amount to ? They didn't know. By now one may speculate that the death toll in the US would have remained under 1 million after a few years of doing nothing about it which means that it's not as bad as it could have been given the initial uncertainty about the "real world performance" of the new virus. Which is lucky. What if we hadn't been that lucky ?

    This virus is an engineered bio-weapon, that is what makes it so dangerous.

    If it were a normal, naturally occurring virus our bodies naturally occurring defense systems combined with herd immunity would make this particular attack a non-event. More information is filtering out now that the virus continues to mutate in the body, even for those who have been "cured".

    I think that the shut down of the cities and the crashing of the economy is a deliberate attempt by the elite luciferian globalists to advance a one world society.
    Past pandemics were not used to shut everything down. This is 2020 and the devil knows his time is short. We are heading into the time when bible prophecy will be fulfilled as the books of Daniel and Revelation are opened up and come to pass in our lifetime.

    It's not "either-or", yes, they will attempt a power grab, yes, there is a virus. The power grab won't work in the US. I think Americans are more likely to throw off the existing structure, the heavy handed state and local governments who are overplaying their hands. Europe of course will fall in line with the globalist/Chinese agenda.

    China is already locked in on State and Local governments, the good news is we are onto them..

    Unfortunately for Canada, Trudeau is in bed with China. We are really in a mess.

    Our governor, Jay Inslee, is a leftist and socialist, along with his advisers (inner circle).
    His 4 phase plan to reopen Washington State is not about health concerns, although he says we "must move forward with extreme caution."
    The democratic governors of other states are also "digging in their heels" to keep their states in a lockdown mode as long as possible.
    Chinese corruption "is in bed" with many of the "leftist" authorities in charge of state politics in advancing a socialist power base agenda.

    Yes. I'm waiting to see how the gun grab works out. I know he imposed a law but it's yet to be seen if the people will comply.

    Yes. It's all about Chinese influence. They have infiltrated the US wherever they possibly could, right down to local school boards. People need to wake up to this and realize that when they they are looking at a democrat or or a "leftie", they are actually looking at Communist China. This is why I think those people controlled by China will be run off the grid, exposure is a powerful medicine and even standard democrats won't go along with communists. I don't think it is too late, in fact I think we are in the first inning of an "awakening".

    We put up with the Brits for awhile but I don't think we'll put up with China at all once the extent of the damage they have caused is widely known.
