Thomas Schoenberger on Flu, Cocooning, Wireless to Touchless

The Trend Towards Global Hermits. Maybe Howard Hughes Was Right.

It started with cable, I suppose. With the advent of multiple choices in television channels.

1918 flu panNo need to talk to your wife, or kids, the news is on, or sports, or perhaps that comedy show you are addicted to. But then, like a spore, it grew. Cocooning , a 1980’s word to describe never having to leave home for your entertainment, became the in thing.

Then wireless became the new thing, as people no longer needed to sit behind a contraption thick with wires. Then cell phones,once weighing pounds rather than ounces,got trimmer, sleeker and faster.  Soon, a trip to the supermarket did not mean you have to even interact with a checker. When once we traveled in horse and buggy, we now travel in private carriages, with silent lights of green and red directing us over smooth asphalt.

Now, as we watch the news, stern “contributors”, anchormen and women issue dire warnings of super flu’s, germ outbreaks, violent weather,floods, pathogens, etc.  Go to any Target or Walmart and there are hand wipes at the entrance, ready to keep people from catching these harmful bugs. But does any hand wipe or even rigorous wishing of the hands eradicate a virus like Norovirus?  No. Does the influenza vaccine only work 60% of the time?  Yes.  So much for modern medicine.s. In total, 1,407 human pathogen species are currently recognized. Of these, 177 (13%) are regarded as emerging or re-emerging,and 25% of these were only recognized in the last 25 years. There have been times in history where the very act of touching another was either toxic, fatal,or even illegal.We cannot wholly depend on any “official channels” being honest with us, because they justify that the consequences of hysteria might just be as damaging or more damaging than any rogue viral pandemic.

But we do have a right to know and I for one fear that Howard Hughes may have been pretty provident in his fear of germs. The Persians invented the handshake, as a signal that they were not carrying weapons.But one must wonder if we are headed to a handshake-less,a touchless society……..Here is a little history from a forgotten pandemic less than 100 years ago, and it killed 50 million people…..

The 1918 flu pandemic (January 1918 – December 1920)[1] was an unusually deadly influenza pandemic which infected 500 million[2] people across the world, including remote Pacific islands and the Arctic, and killed 20 to 50 million of them—1 to 3 percent of the world’s population[3] at the time—making it one of the deadliest natural disasters in human history.[2][4][5][6][7] To maintain morale, wartime censors minimized early reports of illness and mortality in Germany, Britain, France, and the United States;[8][9] but papers were free to report the epidemic’s effects in neutral Spain (such as the grave illness of King Alfonso XIII), creating a false impression of Spain as especially hard hit—[10] thus the pandemic’s nickname Spanish flu.[11]

Most influenza outbreaks disproportionately kill juvenile, elderly, or already weakened patients; in contrast the 1918 pandemic killed predominantly previously healthy young adults. Modern research, using virus taken from the bodies of frozen victims, has concluded that the virus kills through a cytokine storm (overreaction of the body’s immune system). The strong immune reactions of young adults ravaged the body, whereas the weaker immune systems of children and middle-aged adults resulted in fewer deaths among those groups.[12]

Historical and epidemiological data are inadequate to identify the pandemic’s geographic origin.[2] It was implicated in the outbreak of encephalitis lethargica in the 1920s.[13]
