Oh god. It’s just a flue for 99% of people. We just need to lockdown risk groups (>50, asthma, overweight, ...) and let everyone else LIVE
It's so weird that people are protesting masks. The government can literally kill citizens through the death penalty but they're concerned about having to put a piece of cloth on their face.....
Trevor....i just wanna say, we've got identical moustache brother....hope one day u grow it and we see each other ...regards, your identical moustache twin bro
late just like US let a private company print their money and owned a huge debt from private company + issue one of the reason why Kennedy is killed because he want to stop private company printing US money and give it back to the US government...ahhh the flat earth...it make sense somehow...
Wearing a mask isn't as restrictive to your freedom as being on your death bed, poverty, lay-offs, ageism and sexism in the workplace. I hear people so aggressively against wearing a mask, and seriously? That's the biggest of your problems? Your minimum wage is way below what's needed to cover utility bills and food shops - okay, but don't you dare shut us up with a mask.
Absolute rot, Trevor. Do some research, boetman. The 1957-8 Asian Flu killed 1.1 million people worldwide. Spanish Flu death toll was an order of magnitude more than Covid. I get your show has a bias, baba, but you and your writers are neither historians nor journalists. Sies!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree that people should wear mask just not the fact that people should be hated for not wearing one.
4:30 brave to assume anyone would've opened the door for you back in the 1920s... Wait, not that unlikely that would happen in 2020 aswell...
Those whom fail to learn from history is doom to repeat it.
I bet they wear their seatbelts though
Pretty sure the day 'murica becomes a civilized country, is the day their fairy tale hell freezes over
I guess the saying is true. "Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it."
Humans...Learning from history since: NEVER
In the beginning, there was a PPE shortage. Not enough n95 respirators.
Viruses keep mutating. We don't have a vaccine for hiv yet. You need a flu shot every year. It makes some viruses very hard to prevent.
"If masks are so good, then how come everyone from the 1918's is dead" Sad thing is, some American somewhere actually thinks that

As an introvert, it's a good thing I was prepared to avoid people all my life.
We sure can be glad about our advances in medical science bc the stupidity these days is the exact same as back then
The spotty battery scientifically pine because multi-hop largely suspect save a flimsy quit. classy, rotten brazil
"Oh yeah, if masks worked so well, how come everyone who lived through that period is dead now?" 😂😂
Trevor I thought you were a smart guy. Looks like you are just another beatch of the system
🤪
Stupid is as stupid does. I guess. 🙄
Everyone keeps talking about the last great pandemic/health scare being Spanish Flu in 1919/20 ... have people forgotten AIDS in the 1980s?
The Spanish Flu killed 1 out of 3 people in the world, do you know any one personally that died from the Corona Virus?

Wow genius, it killed 1 in 36, not 1 in 3. And also, technological advancements have helped patients recover before they die. Just stop downplaying corona otherwise one day you will die from it
OMG I was still laughing at my African dad then he said it’s unAmerican to learn from history 😂😂😂 why is the truth both bitter and sweet!?
Didn't finish the CDC thread. Per the CDC there is a 93% recovery rate on COVID.
Not even similar. 1918 population 1.6 billion. 50 MILLION deaths. 2020 population 7.8 billion (Yes we have surpassed Dr. Hawkings prediction that at 7.6 billion, the Earth cannot sustain human kind.) As of today there are 361,000 deaths. Not even close, and a little over one tenth of a percent of the population. Not even a full percent. On the bright side. Per the CDC COVID (Only fools say corona. There are 7 forms of corona virus and it is nothing new. It is a generic term for viruses that have been around for years. Corona is being used to scare people.) Question the media. Question the Government. The last time in history I have seen so many people blindly trusting both. There was a world war.

**Wonders how anyone could be so stupid...** And btw , there are 1.9 million deaths, not 0.3 million And btw, have u heard of medical advancements?
Trevor, you know as well as I do that the attention given to boomers screaming that 5G causes coronavirus is just a diversion to keep people from thinking about the mass surveillance implications. Surveillance cameras need to stream a LOT of data to servers for facial recognition and 5G's increased bandwidth enables that.

Ja, I'm sure that blonde chuck is a lawyer or knows at least 1/2 of the constitution, the American one i presume
if we have learned anything... this country does not learn from history, so do not count on it!
Proof that history is repeated. When will we learn from our mistakes?
Spanish flu. In reality it was an American flu from America..
Lies, being repeated a thousand times becoming "the truth".
If you don't know. Now you know. Try smiling....
Trump has huge crowds you liar. No one is showing up for Biden you liar.
I wonder who advocated against masks in March? Oh, it was your beloved Fauci.... People believe what you tell them first. It's very hard (impossible) to change people's minds later. Fauci should have known that. If he didn't he needs a professional science communicator to speak to the public for him. A large number of deaths are the direct consequence of Fauci saying "you don't need a mask" in March. Possibly the majority of deaths. He should be prosecuted. He was fully aware that masks work at that time and he admitted that he only said to not wear a mask because there was a shortage. But there a number of other ways to express that (e.g. recommending to make your own masks while the shortage lasts). Instead he chose to lie and people died.
The sad thing here is that he's genuinely trying to find similarities between these two contagions. Spanish Flu killed over 50,000,000 people during the bloodiest time in history up to that point when the population of the world was under 2 billion. Whereas the percentage of death worldwide for COVID is .0133%. Spanish Flu was 2.5%. The federal government sucked balls during this pathogen just like every country does with biological threats, but all countries did better than they did during the Spanish Flu and Swine Flu, especially America where Swine Flu had over 80 million cases. Trying to blame Donald Trump for the entirety of the federal government's failure is just as much of a stretch. Comparing these two pathogens is like comparing Influenza to heart disease.
this isn't what dr fauci said. he said that 1918 was something similar, not that you have to go back to 1918 to find something similar

I like the "if u don't know now u know" intro... Its my fav segment👌
I'm sad now.
Look, I agree with everything he was saying, but at 3:33 you can clearly hear that they dubbed in audio of the speaker saying "the president".
If you don't know history you're bound to repeat it.
I don't get why it's ok to call it "Spanish" but it's racist to call the current one "Chinese" (and that's leaving aside the fact that the 1918 pandemic probably originated in Kansas, lol). CONSISTENCY please!
You've lost me at "pandemic"!
6:17 Those who are anti-mask wearers do have a point. If people wore masks during the Spanish flu and are wearing masks again in this pandemic, then how come the number of deaths increased in 1918 and are still increasing during Covid-19 till this day?

Trevor noah is such a fear mongering tool. Covid is a hoax and nothing like 1918. Spanish flu killed like 50 million people and they didnt have motorcycle accidents and every other death being counted as covid to incite fear.
The tasty toilet logically confuse because salary plausibly book via a disagreeable grandmother. selfish, tranquil raincoat
We need to be on complete lockdown till June. I have a feeling this virus will be going on till june 2022.
Agree with the mask, hand washing and social distancing. But why is there so little emphasis on strengthening the immune system? I tested positive for SARS Cov 2 a week ago. Upped my vit D and zinc, avoided sugar and junk food (actually, been on low carbs for some time!) and within few days am symptom free. Love from South Africa.
"Experience is recognizing a misstake when you make it again." I guess America has experience, then. (Or at least it should have.)
Love the show. Good job taking over John Stewart. But... I love the hoodie game. Where do you get them? I almost wear a hoodie everyday if I'm permitted. I'm always looking for a good hoodie.
You cannot compare covid to the Spanish Flu because the Spanish Flu mainly killed young people and old people survid it probably because they have more resistance from earlier deseases.
In the Netherlands quite a lot of people think Bill Gates created covid because he eats people and want to kill the world to save the environment. Lol

Apparently, there is no cure to stupidity. That is a fact.
My great grandmother lived threw the Spanish Flu (she was born in 1908) in northern California. her family lived in the middle of nowhere. They lived about 20 miles from the nearest town. Her whole family survived only because they basically quarantined themselves to their ranch. She told me once that they'd only go to town once ever 2-3 months for supplies and they had a massive garden to feed themselves. Personally the reason I think the only reason covid-19 wasn't as bad as the Spanish Flu is we have hospital that are equipped with breathing respiratory and in 1918 they didn't have that kinda technology.
Check new CDC death rate for 2020. same as 2019. Show covid massive death is fake. No need to take vaccine. 8 months and flu covid gone
No its b cos trump would rather deny that there's a pandemic and fail to take action not to talk of undermining the US science communities by putting a mike pence that knows nothing pandemic as the head, not to talk of is public gaffs like drinking insecticide, trump ridicule The US and culpable of the thousands of death. Sorry American don't make the Trump presidency mistake ever again.
Trevor, I think it's time to come back home. I'm sure we Africans have more updated information than that.

It's like being notified of videos I've seen before, it's outdated. Severely outdated. We need more world news, you already have American correspondents.

By Trump's logic it should be called the American flu!
One day in about 2-3 weeks... Trump will disappear!
Wait, are the mortality rates and demographics similar I'm confused. But also I'm American so I'm allowed to be confused. How much money does Trevor's little awards melt down to? Also Harry Potter in Spanish is odd
LOL omg another thing that Latinos and Africans have in common -- Vicks Vaporub cures everything.
There was also the Asian and Hong Kong flu. These occurred during the 1960's

Population control is what pandemics are. Thats why Presidents play dumb. They know people are.
Replace Vick's with a hearty meal and you've got my Mom (Zim)
Woodrow Wilson came down with the 1918 flu and soon after had a stroke and his wife took over til the next president was elected and inaugurated. All hail Dragon Lady Melania.
You left out the fact that the Spanish flu started in the US and spread to other parts of the world with the US' active entry into WW1. It's only called "Spanish" flu because the censorship in Spain wasn't as strict as in other countries and the newspapers there were first to write about it. And 100 years may seem looong ago for many, but in my family, we still remember the names of the relatives who died from the Spanish flu.
I'll one-up you: In 1679, the plague reached Vienna. For half a year, the sanitary committee, instead of counteracting the disease, tried to conceal it until people started dying in masses. People's ideas of the sources of the plague were absolutely ridiculous, but the measures taken were quite modern: social distancing, quarantine, protection of airways, closing of markets, etc. However, reading records from back then gave me chills, because PEOPLE BACK THEN REACTED EXACTLY THE SAME AS PEOPLE TODAY!! There are several accounts of people standing together (over plague corpses lying in the streets), people breaking their quarantine, etc. The plague eventually ended with 1/3 of the population dying from the plague and its consequences. Let's not repeat the mistakes from 342 years ago!!
The presidents job is not to start a panick. Just imagine if he walked onto stage and said we are all going to die, this is going to wipe up out. If you want to see for you self how effective masks are ride a 4 wheeler, shovel a grain bin, sand some drywall. The president was right you only have a short time on earth and if you choose to run and hide in a corner panicked by all means do it. If you want to protect yourself from getting sick, exercise, see your doctor, eat a healthy diet, do not use drugs. Death is a part of life get used to it because you are going to die.
Face masks did not stop the Spanish flu nor any of them were used at that time. QUIT spreading false information you commie
Excellent video, it's shocking to see the similarities between then and now. This should be mandatory viewing for everyone on the planet, even though most governments are doing better than the US government. There's still substantial amounts of people who just ignore what their government is urging them to do, because reasons, so they need to be reminded of what went wrong in the past.

this is very interesting and informative, thank you. I am wondering, because I have not see this in the news, of the people who are getting the virus, are they wearing a mask, washing, distancing? or what. we need to know if those measures do work, or what's going on.

Most cases originate from infecting people close to you, where you don't see the need to keep distance, wear a mask, etc.
