Does history ALWAYS repeat itself?

https://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/360/response-to-coronavirus-health-orders-mirrors-response-during-colorados-deadly-1918-flu-outbreak


B**ching about your rights while failing to acknowledge your responsibilities isn't "freedom", it's adolescence.

    Nope, not in this land.  We take freedom seriously.

    While the death toll mounts. 50 9/11's so far and counting.

    Colorado only has 1850 deaths.  Much lower than other states. And countries for that matter.

    Other countries, utter bulldust. Australia has had 247 deaths in a population of 25 million. Colorado has had 1850 deaths in a population of 5.8 million.

    Your country also used hydroxyclorophine. 
    Our medical people politicized it and basically let people die.

    Australia is also the size of USA with the less than 1/10th the population.  This post was edited by my2cents at August 6, 2020 9:00 AM MDT

    We DIDN'T use that dangerous drug, it's use is strictly controlled and has now been banned in the treatment of COVID-19 after numerous clinical studies proved it to be ineffective. I live here and three of my closest friends are nurses. Get your information from somebody other than Murdererdoch for a change.

    Your Health Minister Greg Hunt announced it was going to be used and former federal MP Clive Palmer donated 30 Million doses in April.  
    And here are your results:

    Environmental rapist Palmer did indeed stockpile quite a lot of it, hoping to redeem himself in the eyes of Australia. Failed dismally, and Hunt also backed down in the face of opposition from the AMA. It wasn't used. The TGA (analogous to your FDA, except that the Therapeutic Goods Authority doesn't regulate foods, but does regulate medical equipment as well as drugs) withdrew its approval for use in treating COVID-19 after peer-reviewed clinical trials demonstrated its ineffectiveness, as well as inducing serious harmful side-effects in several test subjects.
    The curve actually flattened due to stringent distancing and lockdown measures - and the state of Victoria has locked down again due to too many idiots not taking it seriously, inducing a second wave.
