Well history is very manipulated so don't get too excited. What you think history will say about this fake pandemic

So Seattle has what's called the underground tour. It's a great tourist trap thing with a bit of history thrown in. Part of the tour goes into the Spanish Flu (1918-1920) and what things were like then. When my kids and I took the tour (a little over a year ago) as part of their history class our tour guide was an actual historian with a history degree. She was very knowledgeable about various things. Anyway somebody asked about specifics concerning the flu, death rate, masks, etc. She didn't have a breakdown for the deaths and whatnot but there were several pictures along the tour of people wearing masks, tidbits of info about life during the pandemic. After our tour we came home and started looking at various things concerning the flu.

Population of USA at the time was 103,000,000

Death toll for the Spanish flu was 675,000; over an 18 month period. Surprisingly this thing hit the 20-40 year old demographic pretty hard; with 30 year olds getting the worst of it. So why were 30 year olds hit the hardest.

Not known at the time but has been studied recently is the role childhood nutrition plays in adult immune systems. Relevant NIH study. Everybody knows and has heard about the 1930's great depression. Very few people know about the 2nd worst depression in US history (yes, even worse than the 2008 crash) started in May 1893. This meant a lot of expectant mothers and young children had very poor nutrition for a couple years. Fast forward to 1918 and all those young kids are now adults with poor immune systems. People born in the late 1830's through mid 1840's are now civil war vets; this demographic gets hit very hard also. Finally the very young are hit hard as well; ie, very weak immune system that can't fight this thing off.

Although some people today are nutritionally deficient even the worst off are in better overall shape than the average person in the 1890's. This isn't to say people aren't dying or getting wrecked because of this virus but perspective is a hell of a drug.
