I had never heard of anything like this. It was the worst Infectious Disease academic. Guilt he killed so many people and if something came by like that today it would kill more people than the top 10 killers if it came by today and i just found out by looking at the papers by the center for Disease Control that 99 of the people that died in the epidemic were under age of 65 so it was an astonishing devastating epidemic and it was this idea that all these years later almost a century later a molecular biology has advanced so much that someone could have lung tissue that still had the viral genes in their and asked that question about what was this virus, how could influenza virus become such a killer and could it happen again and if so would we recognize it in time. Host one reference in the book that may be as many as 202 met 100 Million People died in 1918 from this fluke . Guest historians keep ratcheting the number upward, 40 million is an underestimate and i heard most recently th
Again. I was never interested in it at all. A few years ago im a reporter for the New York Times i wrote an article for the times about really miraculous discovery. He was reporting in a technical journal. He managed to get the lung tissue. In that lung tissue there was still in fragments of the virus that had killed him. When i interviewed this man he told me about the influenza pandemic of 1918. And i was stunned. Ive just never heard of anything like this. It was the worst Infectious Disease epidemic. It killed 70 people. If Something Like that came by today. It would kill more people than the top ten killers. I just found out by looking at the papers. 99 percent of the email that died in this pandemic were under the age of 65. It was an astonishing devastating epidemic and what made the story for me was this idea all of these years later. They have actually have some lung tissue. What was this virus. How could it become such a killer. And could it happen again. If so would you reco
Were looking for a little bit of balance in the media. Welcome, everybody, im neil cavuto coast to coast is right now. This is something in all seriousness you should step back, wonder what the heck is going on, as donald trump prepares to address an audience in North Carolina . I want to show you something regardless whether youre a fan of his, his opponent or those other two Third Party Candidates, this is breakdown of coverage of the two socalled crises, donald trump and what he has said on videotape. And wikileaks emails that keep coming and coming and coming. Look at that. On all three major networks, scant coverage of the Hillary Clinton crisis. Lots with the donald trump crisis. In fact, picking up about a third, a third of their broadcasts. That is not even dealing with the commercial disruptions. I want to show you something that just over the last couple days, that factor of attention has only grown by about, what seven to one margin. The Media Coverage on donald trump and it
Announced they will not send all of their students back to the campuses this fall. So what is he doing here exactly . Hes got the cdc now spinning and saying it will come out with new guidelines, relaxing guidelines around school. Theres always, with this president , an element of politics here. What are they . Thats right, willie. For weeks and even a couple of months, the sort of hot button political cultural wedge issue was use of masks. The president defying all Available Health data, the recommendation of his own medical team and Public Health professionals and not wear a mask. Even in the face of rising elements that a mask reduces the transmission of the virus. And weve seen fellow republicans break with the president and endorse them, other prominent elected officials. Seems the next battleground is going to be schools. In the last 48 hours a remarkable assault from the president making this political push suggesting without evidence that del democratic governors and mayors and
We are tired about railing in raising the government. We will always do it. That is a valid response and i cant help myself from raising it in the air but the fact of the matter is we want to live free and we want to know how to grow tomatoes in liberty and like our neighbors and be valuable members of the community.
