"Yes, but that's irrelevant as far as I'm aware."

Come on man. You can do better than that.

Do you know what the difference between a virus and bacteria is?

Read the article. Oops!

Local bugs Military health records for barracks and battleships also painted a different picture. New recruits – men unlikely to have been exposed to resident bacteria – died in droves, while soldiers whose immune systems were accustomed to the local bugs survived.

And most compelling, Brundage says, medical experts of the day identified pneumonia as the cause of most deaths.

“The bottom line is we think the influenza virus itself was necessary – but not sufficient – to cause most of the deaths,” he says.

As the world’s health experts prepare for the next influenza pandemic, many have looked to 1918 as a guide, planning for a deadly super-virus.

The H5N1 bird flu strains jetting around the world seem to kill humans without the aid of bacteria, but those viruses aren’t fully adapted to humans, McCullers says. If H5N1 does adapt to humans, bacteria may play a larger role in deaths, he adds.

“Everyone is focused exclusively on the virus, and that’s probably not the best idea,” he says.

Antibiotics and vaccines against bacterial pneumonia could limit deaths in the next pandemic. And while an effective influenza vaccine should nip an outbreak in the bud, such a vaccine could take months to prepare and distribute.

“The idea of stockpiling [bacterial] vaccines and antibiotics is under serious consideration,” says Fauci, who is on a US government taskforce to prepare for the next flu pandemic.

At a recent summit on pandemic influenza, McCullers said health authorities were increasingly interested in the role bacteria might play, but there had been little action taken.

“There’s no preparation yet. They are just starting to get to the recognition stage,” he says. “There’s this collective amnesia about 1918.”

Faux is just like the rest of the FakeNews media. President Trump's new social media is going to start a fire in America that his Presidency couldn't. (was stolen). When he launches that, it will probably take you a week to join from all traffic. Big-Tech will hamper him with glitches and DNS attacks but in the end, WE will prevail.

Not a chance. Biden/Harris won't be removed until 2024. How much damage they inflict on the nation is another story. I think AZ will be the first state to really get the ball started on stopping decades of voter fraud
