    Was there travel restrictions in 1918?

    Towns and villages closed themselves off to travellers. Not sure if there where national lockdowns.

    I think there might have been lockdowns for polio. That was a terrifying virus.

    Correction: I'm wrong; no lockdowns for polio.

    During the Spanish flue pandemic some towns blocked their roads so no one could get in so yes there was some travel restrictions. There was compulsory mask wearing laws also.
    On October 27, 1918, a special officer for the board of health named Henry D. Miller shot and severely wounded James Wisser in front of a downtown drug store at Powell and Market street, following Wisser’s refusal to don an influenza mask. According to the police, Miller shot in the air when Wisser first refused his request. Wisser closed in on him and in the succeeding affray, Miller shot him in the leg and right hand. Wisser was taken to the central emergency hospital, where he was placed under arrest for failure to comply with Miller’s order.

    That's great for yours, but as have been pointed out to you several times by other posters school is the only safe place for many children and a guaranteed meal. Also it has been pointed out that online learning is not an option for thousands of families but again you choose to ignore this. Finally since you are homeschooling your children till a vaccine is found why are you so adamant in wanting the schools closed. It doesn't concern you tbh.
    1. If there are problems in the home they exist when the kids are not in school so it's not going to change anything in those incidences.
    2. Homeschooling works, it's what we are doing at the moment. The teachers are sending us the work so the kids stay exactly in line with their schoolmates. Virtual learning is another option, many schools have already educated kids since they went back as tongue it works in case they close again.
    3.:I don't want any kids dying or ending up with lifelong problems. You obviously don't give a crap about individual kids, you just look at the bug picture and once the risk is acceptable you are happy with that. I'm if the opinion that one kid dying or suffering from a lifelong illness as a result of covid-19 contracted from a classmate is too much as it was avoidable.

    Yes, they had an anti-mask movement back then too.

    If I recall correctly there were some conspiracy theories at the time concerning Spanish Flu and the roll out of 1G

    Don't weasel your out of this in saying you asked for a PM. You were going to report to your journalist friend and get the business in the news and ruin them.

    Quiet old night on the covid front I see.

    I'd go for 2020. If not for the travel, then for the population size.

    No I'm just saying that the increase in reported reinfections doesn't bode well for herd immunity or a vaccine. Because of that then we'll most likely live long term with restrictions in place one form or another

    I think you miss understood vaccines,
    Just because a person gets reinfected it does not make a vacation null and void for the virus.
    It could end up being a yearly jab or a vacation followed by buster shots.

    There were no lockdowns for polio. Children weren't even kept indoors, they were just told not to swim.

    1 and 2 have been addressed many times to you which no surprise you still ignore.
    Now for number 3 you don't know me so less of the projecting your own beliefs on me.

    No Coronavirus has long lasting immunity. This one appears no different. The likelihood of this becoming an endemic disease causing the same problems year on year a possibility without any sort of intervention. At the moment NPI's the only option

    Just in relation to 1918 vs 2020, it is certainly more difficult to contain it today then it was 100 years ago. Plus there's more people so more people to infect

    The issue is that you're giving out about someone who mentioned a business in breach of the guidelines and you don't see a problem in ruining a business yourself by reporting them to your journalist friend.

    Double standards.

    I assume you meant 1918. Even so, plenty to choose from. Thus is a 1918 advert.
