Living with an incurable disease is so hard, but you just have to live life day by day as it goes by (Cancer sucks)...
The 1918 "Spanish" flu started outside an army base in Kansas.
While I always enjoy Dorsey Armstrong's discussions on the Black Death, I wonder when the recent research by the French on Yersinia Pestis and the impact of body lice is going to come into the discussions on it. It was really eye opening.
Easy to learn, not hard to follow. Reminds me of my middle school teaching!!

It's all propaganda. American cultural colonialism
That would be Humanity's - the possessive form of Humanity. "Humanities" are academic disciplines that study aspects of human society and culture. If you're going to do educational content, speeling matters.

I thought it was a discussion about problems in universities. Probably wouldn't have been as interesting.

You can loose the liberal pushing Universal Basic Income. If you let this stuff start you'll loose people. Go woke, go broke.

This sort of basic error has become all too common in the age of universal spell check.
No expert on the matter, but to me it sounds like the video suffers from serious recency bias.

The universal basic income pitch at the end was a real turd in the punch bowl.
You mean Wuhan lab not bats for Covid

Correct. This also puts into question, the entire video. Can't trust anything on the web. Stopped watching at this point.

Ironic then is it not how SARS-CoV-2 genome = is mostly Horseshoe bat DNA........... Perhaps you should leave science to those better versed in it and forgo parroting talking points you likely got from so-called "conservative news" - an oxymoron by the way....... 🤨
Ummm, did she say global cooling?? And then that tangent about not just universal healthcare, but universal income. I’ve yet to have a supporter answer one simple question. If everyone is being paid by the government, who’s providing the income? The closest I’ve gotten is the wealthy would pay for it. So not actually universal income, but just expanding the welfare system and thus widening the income gap further. Good plan. And yet another Wondrium video ruined by personal political opinions. How do these people not get that they just threw their credibility out the window?
I turned the video off when they called Spanish Flu xenophobic.
