newswars--2020-06-19--1918: A Study in How Disease Can Shape Public Policy

I suppose the first I read of the Great Influenza was in the first few pages of the Charles Portis masterpiece True Grit .
The book ’ s heroine , Mattie Ross , tells readers about Yarnell Poindexter , whom Mattie ’ s papa left at the farm to look after her mama and the family while he went to Fort Smith .
Mattie and Yarnell “ exchanged letters every Christmas until he passed away in the flu epidemic of 1918.
” Most people hadn ’ t heard a thing about the 1918 pandemic until 2020 ’ s version of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ something similar .
But two new books in recent years offer some much-needed context .
One is Laura Spinney ’ s 2018 book Pale Rider : The Spanish Flu of 1918 and How It Changed the World .
The other is John Barry ’ s 2005 book The Great Influenza : The Story of the Deadliest Plague in History .
One thing that quickly becomes apparent from reading these books is that the numbers from the 1918 flu are startling .
Spinney writes , “ The Spanish flu infected one in three people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ beings.
” That ’ s an astounding number ; however , as we are finding out , precise pandemic information is hard to come by .
The 1918–20 pandemic killed between 35 million and 100 million people worldwide and 675,000 in the United States .
The current version has claimed over four hundred thousand souls worldwide .
“ Most of the death ” in 1918 , writes Ms. Spinney , “ occurred in the thirteen weeks between mid-September and mid-December.
” By the way , that thirteen-week period was the second wave .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ wars , ” World War I , was ending with 22 million deaths as its direct result .
In Spinney ’ s view , the pandemic “ influenced the course of the First World War , ” and “ ushered in universal healthcare.
” Is it possible that the 2019–20 pandemic will push America to adopt the same ?
If so , this wouldn ’ t be the only effect of the current pandemic that mirrors events past .
If you thought that President Trump ’ s touting of hydroxychloroquine was unusual ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) , for example , Spanish flu sufferers in 1918 were overdosing on quinine , which although effective against malaria , displayed “ no evidence that it worked for flu , ” Spinney writes , “ yet was prescribed in large doses.
” Many accounts have the influenza beginning in southwest Kansas , but the idea of the disease as the fault of foreigners nonetheless gained traction .
Spain , for instance , had nothing to do with germinating the pandemic , but with the country not involved in World War I , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ outbreak , hence the name .
Indeed , American locals did plenty to spread the disease .
In October 1918 , the death rate in New York City was just short of four times the normal .
Despite cases peaking in that month , President Woodrow Wilson led a Columbus Day parade down Fifth Avenue .
Italians bore the brunt of the xenophobia , blamed not just for spreading the flu and polio , but “ blamed for crime , alcoholism , communism and host of other social ills , ” Spinney writes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as the ‘ Jewish disease ’ or the ‘ tailors disease.
’ ” The real problem was the overcrowding of tenements .
In his book The Great Influenza : The Story of the Deadliest Plague in History , historian John Barry tells of the Philadelphia Liberty Loan parade , which one observer said catapulted that city ’ s civilian population into an outbreak “ assuming the type found in naval stations and cantonments.
” Three days after the parade , the pandemic killed 117 people in a single day , Barry writes .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , quadruple , quintuple , sextuple.
” Barry provides the grisly facts .
“ Soon the daily death toll from influenza alone would exceed the city ’ s average weekly death toll from all cases—all illnesses , all accidents , all criminal acts combined.
” Philadelphia became the hottest of the hot spots , with a death rate of 7.92 times the normal in October 1918 .
From a worldwide perspective , the 1918 influenza “ killed more people in a year than the Black Death of the Middle Ages killed in a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ twenty-four weeks than AIDS has killed in twenty-four years , ” Barry writes .
Barry ’ s pandemic story highlights the career and power struggles between William Henry Welch ( Skull and Cross Bones fraternity member ) , William Osler , William Crawford Gorgas , the Flexner brothers ( Simon and Abraham ) , Victor Vaughn , the Rockefeller Institute , and the Carnegie Foundation .
The Flu , Woodrow Wilson , and the Treaty of Versailles During the post–World War I peace talks in Paris , unlike his counterparts , Woodrow Wilson @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any kind .
Everyone in his circle back home was ill , and the president suddenly fell ill at the conference .
So suddenly that there was speculation that he had been poisoned .
Prior to his illness , Wilson had been prepared to walk out of the talks .
Although he remained in Paris , for days he was too ill to participate .
Finally he insisted that the talks continue in his bedroom .
Others in Paris , including Herbert Hoover , Colonel Starling , and Chief Usher Irwin Hoover commented @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mental acuity .
Most bizarre was the president ’ s idea that his house was filled with French spies .
By the afternoon Wilson couldn ’ t remember what had happened in the morning .
Lloyd George commented at the time of Wilson ’ s “ nervous and spiritual breakdown in the middle of the conference.
” Ultimately Wilson , who had initially insisted on a “ peace without victory , ” capitulated to the French , Brits , and Italians .
The treaty was harsh , and Wilson said , “ If @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I should never sign it.
” Most historians attribute Wilson ’ s health to a small stroke , but it ’ s more likely that he contracted the influenza .
The result of Wilson ’ s failing health—harshness toward Germany— ” helped create the economic hardship , nationalistic reaction , and political chaos that fostered the rise of Adolf Hitler , ” Barry writes .
If pandemic histories provide any instruction , it ’ s likely contained in Welch ’ s frustrating prediction , made in 1920 : “ I think that this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we are no more familiar with the control of the disease than we were in the epidemic of 1889 .
It is humiliating , but true.
” Vaughn echoed Welch ’ s view , saying , “ Never again allow me to say that medical science is on the verge of conquering disease.
” But that was a hundred years ago .
Surely the medical community has figured pandemics out by now ?

Most people hadn’t heard a thing about the 1918 pandemic until 2020’s version of, if not the same thing, something similar.
But two new books in recent years offer some much-needed context. One is Laura Spinney’s 2018 book Pale Rider: The Spanish Flu of 1918 and How It Changed the World. The other is John Barry’s 2005 book The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Plague in History.
One thing that quickly becomes apparent from reading these books is that the numbers from the 1918 flu are startling.
Spinney writes, “The Spanish flu infected one in three people on earth, or 500 million human beings.” That’s an astounding number; however, as we are finding out, precise pandemic information is hard to come by.
The 1918–20 pandemic killed between 35 million and 100 million people worldwide and 675,000 in the United States.

The misnamed “war to end all wars,” World War I, was ending with 22 million deaths as its direct result. In Spinney’s view, the pandemic “influenced the course of the First World War,” and “ushered in universal healthcare.” Is it possible that the 2019–20 pandemic will push America to adopt the same?
Some of Today’s Reactions Recall 1918
If so, this wouldn’t be the only effect of the current pandemic that mirrors events past.
If you thought that President Trump’s touting of hydroxychloroquine was unusual (the drug is primarily prescribed for malaria), for example, Spanish flu sufferers in 1918 were overdosing on quinine, which although effective against malaria, displayed “no evidence that it worked for flu,” Spinney writes, “yet was prescribed in large doses.”

In his book The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Plague in History, historian John Barry tells of the Philadelphia Liberty Loan parade, which one observer said catapulted that city’s civilian population into an outbreak “assuming the type found in naval stations and cantonments.” Three days after the parade, the pandemic killed 117 people in a single day, Barry writes. “That number would double, triple, quadruple, quintuple, sextuple.” Barry provides the grisly facts. “Soon the daily death toll from influenza alone would exceed the city’s average weekly death toll from all cases—all illnesses, all accidents, all criminal acts combined.”
Philadelphia became the hottest of the hot spots, with a death rate of 7.92 times the normal in October 1918.
From a worldwide perspective, the 1918 influenza “killed more people in a year than the Black Death of the Middle Ages killed in a century; it killed more people in twenty-four weeks than AIDS has killed in twenty-four years,” Barry writes.

The Flu, Woodrow Wilson, and the Treaty of Versailles
During the post–World War I peace talks in Paris, unlike his counterparts, Woodrow Wilson negotiated by himself, without aid of any kind. Everyone in his circle back home was ill, and the president suddenly fell ill at the conference. So suddenly that there was speculation that he had been poisoned.
Prior to his illness, Wilson had been prepared to walk out of the talks. Although he remained in Paris, for days he was too ill to participate. Finally he insisted that the talks continue in his bedroom. Others in Paris, including Herbert Hoover, Colonel Starling, and Chief Usher Irwin Hoover commented on the decline of Wilson’s mental acuity. Most bizarre was the president’s idea that his house was filled with French spies. By the afternoon Wilson couldn’t remember what had happened in the morning. Lloyd George commented at the time of Wilson’s “nervous and spiritual breakdown in the middle of the conference.”
Ultimately Wilson, who had initially insisted on a “peace without victory,” capitulated to the French, Brits, and Italians. The treaty was harsh, and Wilson said, “If I were a German, I think I should never sign it.”
Most historians attribute Wilson’s health to a small stroke, but it’s more likely that he contracted the influenza. The result of Wilson’s failing health—harshness toward Germany—”helped create the economic hardship, nationalistic reaction, and political chaos that fostered the rise of Adolf Hitler,” Barry writes.

It is humiliating, but true.” Vaughn echoed Welch’s view, saying, “Never again allow me to say that medical science is on the verge of conquering disease.”

This is 100% the right move. This will help us beat this terrible virus. The science is unanimous – if we all wear masks, we slow down the spread and can reopen safely. It’s not a political issue.

Despite acknowledging there are no racist ties to the university ’ s popular “ Gator Bait ” chant , University of Florida President Kent Fuchs announced the school will end use of the chant at future sporting events because of the phrase ’ s “ historic racist imagery.

newswars--2020-06-19--‘Complete Decoupling’ From China Remains an ‘Option,’ Says Trump

US President Donald Trump on Thursday renewed his threat to end commercial ties with China as tensions between the world ’ s two largest economies intensify over trade .
The US “ certainly does maintain a policy option , under various conditions , of a complete decoupling from China , ” Trump said in a tweet .
His remarks came in response to the US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer ’ s statement before a US House of Representatives committee on Wednesday .
Lighthizer , who has been at the forefront of trade negotiations with Beijing , defended the trade deal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He assured the House Ways and Means Committee that China will fulfill its commitments to buy more US goods and services over the next two years .
“ I think we have what is an excellent agreement , ” Lighthizer told US lawmakers .
“ We expect it to be honored.
” Lighthizer described himself as a hardliner on China policy , and outlined the Trump administration ’ s plans to “ reset ” the World Trade Organization , largely so that it can better rein in Beijing ’ s policies which he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
But he also told the committee that decoupling the economies of the US and China was now impossible .
“ That was a policy option years ago , but I don ’ t think it ’ s a policy or reasonable policy option at this point , ” Lighthizer said .
The statement caused some angst in Republican circles .
Trump tried to let his trade official off the hook by tweeting : “ It was not Ambassador Lighthizer ’ s fault ( yesterday in Committee ) in that perhaps I didn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in January signed the “ phase one ” of a trade deal aimed at ending a trade war in which he has slapped tariffs on billions of dollars of Chinese products .
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that a senior Chinese official also confirmed to him Beijing ’ s commitment to phase one , which includes China stepping up purchases of US products .
Besides trade , the US and China have been at loggerheads over the handling of the coronavirus pandemic and Beijing ’ s move to impose security legislation on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ friction that have worsened this year .
Trump last month signaled a further deterioration in the relationship , saying he had no interest in speaking to President Xi Jinping right now and suggesting he could even cut ties with the world ’ s second-largest economy .

Some users questioned whether Apple will truly respect their privacy regarding their COVID-19 status, or whether they’ve interacted with anyone who has the virus…or maybe even just passed them on the street or in the supermarket.

This is happening even as evidence suggests that most patients are infected by someone who either lives in, or frequently shares, the same space as them. Are you awake yet?

In the obviously satirical meme, emblazoned with creator Carpe Donktum’s name in the corner, dramatic video plays as the two small children run down the sidewalk together, set to dramatic music, with text on the lower-third claiming “BREAKING NEWS: Terrified toddler runs from racist baby” next to the CNN logo.

Fifty-five percent of likely voters believe presumptive Democratic Party presidential nominee Joe Biden is in the early stages of dementia, according to a Zogby poll released Wednesday.
President Donald Trump has consistently ridiculed Biden over his verbal gaffes and memory lapses and portrayed him as an old man who would be committed to a retirement home if he were to be elected.
“They are going to put him in a home and other people are going to be running the country,” Trump said in early March during a rally in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Owen is shocked to see the images that are coming out from Biden’s three rallies.
“Sleepy Joe,” Trump added, “he doesn’t even know where he is or what he’s doing or what office he’s running for. Honestly, I don’t think he knows what office he’s running for.”
Biden’s age, 77, has been a consistent source of discussion during the 2020 campaign.

newswars--2020-06-20--BLM Co-Founder Admits: “Our Goal Is To Get Trump Out”

While massive protests continue to rage across the country ( and beyond ) in the name of George Floyd , Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors admitted during a Friday night interview with CNN that “ our goal is to get Trump out.
” Cullors , who described BLM organizers in 2015 as “ trained Marxists , ” compared Trump to Hitler after refusing to meet with him , and referred to Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( ICE ) as the Gestapo , told CNN ‘ s Jake Tapper ( via Breitbart ‘ s Josh Caplan ) : JAKE TAPPER @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of criticism of former Vice President Joe Biden from civil rights activists .
The election , obviously , will be a choice .
How do you think Biden matches up compared to President Trump when it comes to these issues that are important to you ?
PATRISSE CULLORS : Trump not only needs to not be in office in November but he should resign now .
Trump needs to be out of office .
He is not fit for office .

While massive protests continue to rage across the country (and beyond) in the name of George Floyd, Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors admitted during a Friday night interview with CNN that “our goal is to get Trump out.”
Cullors, who described BLM organizers in 2015 as “trained Marxists,” compared Trump to Hitler after refusing to meet with him, and referred to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as the Gestapo, told CNN‘s Jake Tapper (via Breitbart‘s Josh Caplan):
JAKE TAPPER: I’ve heard a lot of criticism of former Vice President Joe Biden from civil rights activists. The election, obviously, will be a choice. How do you think Biden matches up compared to President Trump when it comes to these issues that are important to you? PATRISSE CULLORS: Trump not only needs to not be in office in November but he should resign now. Trump needs to be out of office. He is not fit for office. And so what we are going to push for is a move to get Trump out. While we’re also going to continue to push and pressure vice president Joe Biden around his policies and relationship to policing and criminalization. That’s going to be important. But our goal is to get Trump out.

Update : The United Nations has removed its tweet supporting Antifa after 24 hours .
The United Nations came to the defense of Antifa , slamming President Trump for labeling the violent far-left group as a terrorist organization because it violates its “ right to peaceful assembly.
” The United Nations Office at Geneva , Switzerland ( UNOG ) posted Antifa ’ s flag on its official Twitter account Friday , claiming that a group of “ human rights experts ” condemned the Trump administration ’ s decision to classify Antifa as a terrorist group because that violates their First @ @ @ @ @ @ @ experts express profound concern over a recent statement by the US Attorney-General describing # Antifa and other anti-fascist activists as domestic terrorists , saying it undermines the rights to freedom of expression and of peaceful assembly in the country , ” the globalist body tweeted .
The UN ’ s support for Antifa comes specifically in response to Attorney General William Barr ’ s statement made following the nationwide Black Lives Matter riots and looting in blue cities , saying the violence was “ instigated and carried out by Antifa and other similar @ @ @ @ @ @ @ domestic terrorism and will be treated accordingly.
” “ Federal law enforcement actions will be directed at apprehending and charging the violent radical agitators who have hijacked peaceful protest and are engaged in violations of federal law , ” Barr added .
Trump declared Antifa a terrorist organization around the same time .
Indeed , one would be hard-pressed to find instances of Antifa demonstrations that did not end in violence .
In fact , the group has openly committed acts of domestic terrorism , contrary to the UN ’ s gaslighting talking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ peaceful assembly.

The violent group also routinely attacks and beats journalists , such as Andy Ngo in 2019 .
A top Antifa leader from the so-called CHOP in Seattle even openly threatened “ white America ” with more “ burning ” and “ looting ” if the group ’ s far-left demands were not met .

President Donald Trump took to social media to respond after Fox News host Tucker Carlson blasted the Republican Party and its leaders for allowing civil unrest to continue so long without consequence on his Friday night broadcast .
After Carlson ’ s Friday night monologue and several interviews were deeply critical of the Republican Party ’ s response to the civil unrest , President Trump took to Twitter to assuage Carlson ’ s concerns .
Carlson explained that , in his view , the current state of civil unrest , started as a response to the death of George Floyd @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Republican leaders allowed a vacuum of power to be formed when they did not respond .

At one point , Carlson compared the current administration ’ s response to the civil unrest to a hypothetical mirrored situation in the the Obama administration , and noted that Americans would have expected more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in his show , Carlson would note that Dr. Anthony Fauci recently seemed to believe he is now control of the country as he appeared to issue orders to Americans regarding the upcoming NFL season .

President Donald Trump took to social media to respond after Fox News host Tucker Carlson blasted the Republican Party and its leaders for allowing civil unrest to continue so long without consequence on his Friday night broadcast.
After Carlson’s Friday night monologue and several interviews were deeply critical of the Republican Party’s response to the civil unrest, President Trump took to Twitter to assuage Carlson’s concerns.
Carlson explained that, in his view, the current state of civil unrest, started as a response to the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody, happened because Republican leaders allowed a vacuum of power to be formed when they did not respond.
“Nobody stopped them, there was no opposition to their power grab.” said Carlson. “Millions of people regularly vote for the Republican Party precisely because they would like someone to protect this country from the crazed ideologues who seek to destroy it.”
“There’s not really another reason to vote Republican, unless you happen to be one of those rare people who wants more pointless foreign wars and enjoys sucking up to banks, most people don’t,” Carlson continued. “But when the moment of crisis came, Republicans ran away.”
Carlson went on to recap the weeks of rioting, looting, and destruction of historic monuments that have ensued since Floyd was killed, as well as the witch hunts of political correctness that followed.
At one point, Carlson compared the current administration’s response to the civil unrest to a hypothetical mirrored situation in the the Obama administration, and noted that Americans would have expected more than vague statements on Twitter.
Later in his show, Carlson would note that Dr. Anthony Fauci recently seemed to believe he is now control of the country as he appeared to issue orders to Americans regarding the upcoming NFL season.
Within hours of the broadcast, President Trump wrote on Twitter that he “Informed Dr. Fauci this morning that he has nothing to do with NFL Football.”
The president continued, “Forced Democrat Minnesota to bring in the National Guard & end rioting & looting after seeing the destruction in Minneapolis.”
President Trump also reported that he is waiting to hear from “Dem run Washington State” regarding whether they need “help in taking back Seattle,” and that he is “Ready to move quickly!”
….as to whether they want help in taking back Seattle. Ready to move quickly! Damage to various Democrat run Cities & States, including statue demolition, should not be allowed to happen.

Twitter has removed a satirical video shared by US President Donald Trump – a parody CNN clip it flagged as “manipulated media” – after the broadcaster saw red over the tweet and following complaints from the owner of the footage.
The meme clip, which featured a mock CNN chyron and was meant as a dig at what Trump and his supporters see as biased media coverage of his presidency, was pulled on Friday after a company representing the original creators of the video complained to social media platforms, saying the footage was used without permission. In addition to Twitter, Facebook has also deleted the clip.
