when was the last time an infectious disease killed 500,000 people in a 12 month period in the US?
(that's low-balled, 600,000+ are likely)
What do you think Gym Jordan was trying to say?
I think what he was saying is pretty straightforward. Wrong, but straightforward.

Gym Jordan didn’t say a word about smallpox.
The implication of what he said is that founders would renounce lockdowns in the name of freedom, despite any health implications.
Would you agree he was clearly wrong? If you think I’m ‘twisting’ anything, do please point it out.
Covid is not smallpox therefore total lockdown not warranted to win the war
Is what I think he referred to
Look I am no Twitter expert
I thought the politician Jorden was second not first. My bad
Smallpox was brought up as the counter argument pointing out that he was wrong. You need me to link the tweet and response? It’s a few posts up.
And who says lockdowns are not warranted for COVID? link?
All good
You do know that infectiousness counts too, right?
Counts? To you or who?
Who decides what “rate counts combined with lethalness”
Epidemiologists.
A disease that is more lethal sometimes poses a slighter threat than one that is less lethal but more infectious. That's the case with COVID-19.
And these disease scientists are all in agreement and the ones in charge of when or not to lockdown.
Look at me all getting up in the politics forum
Nope, it has always been controversial.
It's even harder with a novel pathogen because it takes awhile to figure out what it does.
Seems to me it has been hard to handle especially when competing sides are so ready to snipe the other.
That's probably true.
The plague is game changer.
Patriot state rep arrested
How dare he let civilians into the people's capitol!
Civil disobedience bad now.
Destruction and vandalism good now
Derp is fine with killing cops.
In this case, I think so.
