Shows info-graphics comparing all great pandemics of history

Excellent graphic comparison. Really puts this present "crisis" into perspective

“Really puts this present “crisis” into perspective”

How so?

[House Atreides]

Well, here’s another graph for you to post endlessly. But I guess it wouldn’t serve your agenda.

Non-hysterically yours,

I don’t know why people think running a marathon is so hard. I’m two miles into one and it seems like nothing.

If anything we should learn from history that worse diseases will likely come in the future.

[SoCal Pubbie]

You’re right, it doesn’t show the real killer, that dreaded “potential.”

[proust]

Where did I say that?

[SoCal Pubbie]

Where did I say you did? Potential is the only reason Covid-19 is causing such fear. In real terms it hasn’t killed very many people.

[ocrp1982]

In fact, it does serve his agenda. Why? Because you posted nothing except a few words.

That said, what is your interpretation of the agenda of a graph of facts posted by a Freeper attempting to put some perspective on the current hysteria?

Not a trick question. Asking for your explanation considering your apparent hostility towards what the man posted. Why the hostility? And, are the graphs posted incorrect?

[RedStateRocker]

I’ll take any pandemic, ever, or even possible, over a police state.

[proust]

So what happened in China and Italy? A bad case of the fears?

[SoCal Pubbie]

Tell me the population of China and how many dead there from the virus. That will answer the question.

Thanks for sharing. I had to get my magnifying glass out to see the present “crisis.”

[A_perfect_lady]

Well, I just don’t see how those cute little pom-poms killed anyone. =)

[shanover]

The ultimate crisis has been initiated. I don’t minimize but will maximize is the deterioration of our liberty.

[wastedyears]

I second your comment.

[wastedyears]

You really think the Chinese government will release the true numbers of infected and dead?

[proust]

Well I can start from the facts everyone can agree on.

1. China locked down almost 20% of the world’s population.

Was it over anything real, or just a bad case of the fears?
