Lock him up.
(9,553 posts)2. It was not mentioned in the tweet.
And the Spanish flu (it was not really coming from Spain and got that name because Spanish newspapers were the first to report on a strange plague, while the truth was in came from here), that flu probably was a coronavirus too.

I was being ironic. The Spanish Flu lasted over 2 years. Modern medicine has kept Covid thus far at a lower death rate than the Spanish Flu pandemic, but without a vaccine and left uncontained, it is said that COVID-19 could be comparable to the 500 million that died in 1918.
