Pandemic data, end of 2021

After claiming during the campaign, that the virus spread was Trump's failure, and saying he wouldn't trust the vaccine (Harris said it too), the Biden numbers for 2021 (at the same time of year and with the vaccine, and all the therapeutics and research) were higher than 2020. 

“The Spanish Flu” in 1918 infected roughly 500 million people—one-third of the world’s population—and caused 50 million deaths worldwide when the population was much smaller. The Asian flu (H2N2) of 1957-58 which I survived (with no lockdown) killed up to 4 million when the population was 2.9 billion instead of the 7.7 billion of today.

In the last 24 hours Ohio has reported 19,774 cases, 484 hospitalizations, and zero deaths.

Bye-bye Wuhan Virus

The Biden speech police have declared you can't speak of the Chinese Virus or the Wuhan Virus. There goes the Hong Kong flu (1968) and the Asian flu (1957). Also, if you read any article about the Swine Flu of 2009, it always includes the word Mexico where it apparently originated. But I suppose because Obama was being called the "deporter in chief" (untrue: Clinton deported 12,290,905 and Obama 5,281,115 during their 8 year terms) by some immigrant organizations, it wouldn't catch on if it were called "Mexican flu." Maybe on a slow day of rewriting history, some interns could go through all those government documents that included the word Mexico. The pork producers probably would have preferred a country of origin, because a lot of pigs lost their lives (early) due to political correctness.
