@@sophiaangelaasido4634 Yeah! I wonder why.

Dang Simon, though I understand why you are creating a bunch of channels, it is capitalism of the online world. At least it is healthy in studies that is great for anyone to expand their own knowledge to spread to others but without the financial benefits that you take in. A friend of mine that I known since we were teens, did a channel , became popular and the money generated pays all his staff full time and his large facility. Though he only has 6 paid full time staff members, he does really well with KZfaq. All the rest of the Money he makes on what he does is pure profit.

Because he was most fear general for allies

China, China, China, yeah I believe that.

Not the "Spanish" Flu you moron, it didn't come from Spain or any other Latin American country. By the way, I was just called a moron for saying that.

@@mikhailbashni8936 Bit harsh, considering that's what it was called for the majority of the video and that's what most people know it as

@@mikhailbashni8936 Spanish means from Spain not Latin America. Spain is in Europe not Latin America. That's what it's called, there is an explanation to why it's called Spanish Flu and it has nothing to do with the origin of the virus.

Mikhail Bashni colloquially, it is called the Spanish Flu. Goodness gracious don’t be so daft. Also, if you are going to correct someone, don’t mess up basic geography. Spain is in Europe, not Latin America.

Oh man...that's just heartbreaking :(

Society should never come to this. What's currently happening in the US breaks my heart. Those who are wealthy enough can buy ranches and go "off grid" essentially, and opt out, which I think shows a huge failure of communal society and class. I'm a dual UK/NZ citizen, I grew up on hearing about "the flu" and "the Wars" ... a huge, HUGE part of me is so very glad that my amazing, loving, ex-Royal Navy (and notably Dutch Jewish) grandfather, died peacefully in his late 90's, because I think him seeing what happened/what was done during Trump's election and "his" America, would have been too much for my wonderful, loving Opa.

@Boosted Coyote shill something? You mean the sponsors? You mean the thing that pays for the videos? I dont mind them. The dude has to make a living somehow and most of the topics he covers on most of his channels are not going to get monetized due to the screwed up way KZfaq works these days.

@Boosted Coyote Yeah, how dare he try to make a living. This is literally his job. If he doesn't have sponsors we don't get videos.

Foolish conspiracies? I can't be bothered even arguing with pharma drones like you any more. Keep believing your models, sweetheart. Remember how accurate they were?

I definitely agree with that! You put it better than I could. Learning should be enjoyable

The problem is that people do expect that now, making it hard to learn anything that’s not given the Hollywood treatment.

That’s why teachers suck these days. They actually don’t know or care about what they teach. So they focus on the clock and the students do too. I imagine KZfaqrs being more qualified and knowledgeable than any 23 year old teacher that went from school to harder school

It's always fear that's our greatest enemy. We can take precautions, but letting something stop our lives just because we're afraid never amounts to anything. Unfortunately so many people let their fear control them.

He sounds like a smart and very considerate man. He understood the risk he could pose to others while sick, and took every precaution he could to protect the people around him. Kudos to him! I think there are a lot of people who care for those they come in contact with, and want to take those same kind of precautions to not infect others, but can't afford to stay at home because they otherwise would not be able to support themselves or their family. If only society was set up in a way to allow more people to be able to take time off at home when feeling sick-- we'd surely have less outbreaks. But that's preaching to the choir.

covid-19 is not the same. please stop

@@Ollie-trolley shut up, that flu was like wild fire, it didn't kill mostly old people it killed every age. Sexism goes both ways, miss me with that. Woman are far better off now, but that doesn't mean they are happy.

Ollie currently we don't know anything about how deadly the current virus is so you are just spitting BS in that regard. We don't know how many people have been or are asymptomatic either, all the studies done so far indicate a range of 3%-7% depending on where. However what we do know is the outcome ratio right now, we have 1.39million recovered and 280.000 dead approximately. So about 1.7million resolved, which in no way supports your 0.02% CFR or IFR for that matter. Best estimates right now put it in the 3-6.5% range for CFR but I don't see the numbers supporting that either, it looks higher to me. But I'm going with the official estimates instead of making up my own like you do.

@@Ollie-trolley no there isn't sexism

Clever, you write that yourself? BTW the entire self quarantine and shelter in place effort has so far kept it from killing tens of millions of people. That is evidence we learned from history...

there's separate teams behind each channel, writers, editors etc Only biographics and geographics are done by the same group.

My grandmother nursed in Johannesburg, SA, during the Spanish Flu. She also had 4 children, ranging in age from 14 years to 5 years. They were sent to live out the epidemic on a family farm. Nobody in the family became sick, although both my grandparents worked in hospitals, my grandfather as a clerk. My father fought in WW1,but also never caught the flu. He left the army in 1922. He was 15 years older than my Mum, so I grew up on stories about WW1 and WW2.

All airborne viral pathogens require the same basic measures of mitigation: social distancing/hand washing/masks. Unlike then however we today have the benefit of antiviral medications and vastly improved medical treatments - as well as a vaccine. Thus the former can help reduce your chances of being exposed so as to be infected to a degree. The latter are what help you once you are infected. In the end however the goal as always is to prevent exposure and subsequent infection. For that to happen the virus must be cut off from its host to reduce local morbidity. Vaccination is the most effective way to achieve this as you can via mass vaccination trigger an immunological response in large numbers of people very quickly. In the case of Influenza - and now Covid - there is a limit to such mitigation because these viral pathogens are = "zoonotic" - hence they exist in other species. We can not therefore eradicate them. All we can do is to wage an ongoing campaign to limit their spread and hence the adverse impact of their presence in communities. They are a part of the environment now. 🤔

Booooooo

i had a little bird her name was rona she was so pretty everyone said cor! rona

So funny because it's not funny.

bdegrds The mortality rate would still be worse then(1918) than today because all of the troops in close proximity going back and forth on ships and trains and at huge military camps also the fact medicine has come a long way since then to treat it at a simptonmatic level and now we have antibiotics which wasn't about then. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

We have antibiotics today, so it's unlikely any H1N1 flu would be that bad these days. It's estimated that the vast majority of deaths were caused by secondary bacterial pneumonia, not the flu virus itself. The 2009 H1N1 strain would have probably been just as bad then, but it isn't now because modern medicine knows how to deal with it.

@@briebel2684 viruses are not effected by antibiotics. So it would help with 2ndary infections but not the cytokine storms that killed many of the younger victims.

@@briebel2684 Except for viruses that we don't know about that have no vaccine (not antibiotics) you know like Covid19 which also happens to cause ARDS in patients. With all our modern medicine and technology how are we dealing with Covid19? Quarantines. Lock downs. Face masks. It's the height of hubris to think we humans have that kind of power. Humanity managed to kill 10million or so of itself in WW1 across 4 years. Nature managed that in less than half that. Imagine a virus which had the pathogenicity of the Spanish flu couple with the lethality of something like ebola or anthrax. It would make Spanish flu look like a picnic. Something like that is lurking out there almost certainly.

Covid would likely have similar numbers if we went business as usual.

Yeah, I think someday soon it will be "SimonTube" instead of KZfaq. That'd be *awesome*!

John Matrixx covid 19 isn't really that deadly. If it was deadly, it wouldn't be that contagious. Kinda hard to spread the virus when the host is dead.
