Regarding your first sentence of the "obviousness" of it all, I agree. But that's not the point of doing such studies. It was obvious in 1400CE that the Earth was the center of the universe. There was no actual evidence to show that that belief was correct. Further research (Galileo's telescope, now in the DeutschesMuseen in Munich) helped prove that belief wrong.


Actually the ancient Greeks knew a whole lot - if we want to get into nefarious cabals manipulating the public mind to its own profit then we need look no further than the Church that destroyed what it could and suppressed what it could not in order to attain and maintain its supremacy, starting with the ancient world and continuing into relatively recent times, including the difficulties experienced by Galileo and others.

But then I wonder, the Church conspiracy to deny the progress of science ancient and more modern being obvious - isnt one of the attractions of conspiracy theories and of the personal reward experienced by theorists that the conspiracy is always something that lies beyond proof and resolution in denouement? If the theory is proven then it ceases to be a theory (as far as theory is here defined) and so in a perverse way it is in the interests of the theorists to continue its status as being of fringe interest only, special only unto those in the know who thereby are able to benefit as the psychologists assert.

That's why, LE, the aliens will never land.

H1N1 proved to be incredibly transmissible.  If it had had a mortality/morbidity rate like the 1918 flu, we would all be in some deep and serious shit.

It is a promotion clip for some kind of game. The actor fooled you into thinking that it was filmed secretly.

Maybe not. I have read that ironically the 1918 virus felled only those with strong immune systems because death came from over-reaction of the T-cells or whatever else constitutes the immune system, so the efected population were mosly those in their late teens and in their twenties. That the current virus felled young children and remained until now most virulent in restricted locations suggests a different mechanism and may explain why thus far it has not had effects similar to the 1918 virus. The rapid spread of the virus in 1918 was undoubtedly facilitated by young troops returning from European battlefields. The first outbreaks occurred in military barracks here in the east coast of the States but spread to the far north of Alaska and to the island of Spitsbergen in Norway's Arctic region.

Or to keep within the spirit of this thread, the 1918 virus may have been sprinkled about in so large a geography by Aliens from outer space as an experiment

Hunky, you were a lot more fun when you thought for yourself instead of parroting Real.

Do you have any argument to support your hypothesis? What aliens from outer space? Sprinkled about by what means? How did them aliens from outer space acquire and produce the virus?

How about the other side of your hypothesis? Can you present any arguments that invalidate the much more likely and accepted hypothesis that the virus was a naturally occurring disease that thrived and spread thanks to the World War I conditions?

Holy Intergalactic Conspiracy, Batman!!!!

Rule, read again please.

First, I gave credence to the likely spread of the virus by troop movement.

Secondly, my comment about Space Aliens was just a spoof on the topic of this thread.

Lighten up, Bro.

The first attribute refers to people who care deeply about an individual's right to make their own choices and direct their own lives without interference or obligations to a larger system (like the government). But combine this with a sense of powerlessness in one's own life, and you get what Melley calls agency panic, "intense anxiety about an apparent loss of autonomy" to outside forces or regulators.
