Because the country was still run by the same people who defeated the Nazis and rose from the Great Depression. These were strong, independent thinking men. Not the candy assed, female led, halfa fag, Socialists of today.
If you got a cold you took an aspirin, blew your GD nose, and went to work.

Was the country better off then, than now? Fuck yeah!

...and came home to a dinner of red meat and potatoes after smoking two packs of Camel non-filters, drinking a pack of Schlitz, dying of a heart attack at 49 while your hippy children were OD-ing on drugs and your wife had just gotten her hair frosted at the beauty parlor with Suspicious Minds playing on the radio and Huntley and Brinkley on the TV...

But they created the wealth which permitted their 'Boomer' fuck stick kids the social wealth and welfare to run it into the fucking ground.

I was a kid in 1969 and have absolutely no recollection of a problem.

My parents had been through the war and a depression. Nobody expected you could sail through life
without any problems or perils.
But we have a political class and media now that will exploit anything for political gain.

“That generation approached viruses with calm, rationality and intelligence,” he said. “We left disease mitigation to medical professionals, individuals and families, rather than politics, politicians and government.”
also that generation was not a bunch of panty waisted snowflakes afraid of their own shadow.

Because in 1960st America was still run by Americans, not by a Christian hated nomadic tribe

Different epidemic and different times. The 1968/69 pandemic (H3N2) killed an estimated 100,000 in the US over a two year period. The coronavirus has killed 88,000 in 10 weeks, probably 100,000 by the end of the month and twice that by the end of summer and half million by end of the year and it will still be with us in 2021. Comparing H3N2 to coronaviurs is like comparing a cold to pneumonia.

Also in 1968, there was a lot of stuff happening that pushed H3N2 to the back burner, Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King assignation, Chicago riots at the DNC convention, the Tet Offense and escalation of the war in Viet Nam, and student riots and protests all over the country.

You call being calm and rational is claiming the virus is just the flu, a democrat hoax when it's been declared a pandemic and infection is in over 20 countries including the US. I call it insanity.
