And these strips are not curated, or even rearranged… we’re getting them just as they ran 11 years ago.
This is presumably the swine flu pandemic of 2009-10…
a variation of the flu that caused the deadly 1918 pandemic… hence Burl’s T-shirt.
but I don’t remember anybody wearing masks.
That said…it’s NOT true that the Covid-19 pandemic is no different.
I just looked it up so I wouldn’t be speaking from memory… ..
In 2009 and 10 there were just under HALF a million confirmed cases… and 18,000 confirmed deaths… in a whole year and a half.
Some sources estimated 500 million cases, or even twice that, and a quarter to half a million deaths…. but no one knows if those huge estimates are true.
We DO know there are already almost 9 BILLION CONFIRMED cases of Covid-19 … almost 10 times as many as the highest estimates for swine flu…
and almost half a million CONFIRMED deaths…
in only SIX months… and cases are currently spiking.
That’s not even counting the unreported or unconfirmed ones.
Using the 2009 ratios, we might have had BILLIONS of unconfirmed virus deaths this year.. but I don’t think that’s believed to be true.,
All I’m really saying is… Don’t be a Penny…
PLEASE wear a mask!
If not for you…. please wear one for ME.
Even if they can’t filter actual virus particles…
they DO help reduce your exposure to other peoples breath and cough droplets, which contain virus particles…
And they DO reduce MY exposure to YOURS.
You really can’t tell whether you’ve been exposed…
Amazing that this is clearly ©2009… it fits in so well today.

and I’m very vulnerable.
Thank you.
