Why did they say we were overpopulated 50 years ago?

4 billion dead from the chinkflu would be a good result.

Pollution, Infectious Disease, and Mortality: Evidence from the

1918 Spanish Influenza Pandemic by Karen Clay, Joshua Lewis, Edson Severnini NBER Working Paper No. 21635, Issued in Oct 2015, Revised May 2018

The 1918 flu Pandemic killed millions worldwide & hundreds of thousands in the U.S. This paper studies the impact of air pollution on pandemic mortality. The analysis combines a panel dataset on infant and all-age mortality with a novel measure of air pollution based on the burning of coal in a large sample of U.S. cities. We estimate that air pollution contributed significantly to pandemic mortality. Cities that used more coal experienced tens of thousands of excess deaths in 1918 relative to cities that used less coal with similar pre-pandemic socioeconomic conditions and baseline health. Factors related to poverty, public health, and the timing of onset also affected pandemic mortality. The findings support recent medical evidence on the link between air pollution and influenza infection, and suggest that poor air quality was an important cause of mortality during the pandemic.

We had these funky things called newspapers and newsreel footage then.

And quarantine laws too.

[Jake56]

Specially if it killed you.

[GB]

When the chinkflu kills millions is will be a good day.

Nothing porky about the fact that quarantine had been used for a century or more before that, because it was known that that worked. It was in fact attempted very early on with the spanish flu but the US military f***ed up by not including the officers in those quarantined.

[The Natural Philosopher]

I am glad you admit that there was no quarantine done except inside enlisted US Army men. I.e. No quarantine

[Jake56]

There was lots of quarantine at ports by various countries.
