Viruses had only been discovered a few decades before this picture was taken. It’s very likely that the family (and most of society) had no understanding that the virus was unlikely to jump species and so took the same precaution to keep the cat from spreading the disease that they themselves took. I’d rather people made this sort of mistake than the willful idiots we had this time around refusing to believe in viruses at all.
Or maybe they just thought it’d make a cute, silly family photo
I think that cat just has white fur on its face, that’s not a mask
I love that most people seem to believe it’s really wearing a mask 😷 😂 😺
this picture is a lie, Bill Gates traveled back in time to apply micro chips to the population of 1918
FYI the Spanish Flu’s origin was a pig farm in Kansas.
The Spanish: WTF!?
The only reason it was called the Spanish Flu was because they were trying to report accurate numbers when the rest of the world was lying for the war effort
In San Francisco there was a mask mandate, and roving groups of men would beat the shit out of anyone they saw without a mask on.
Like, they didn’t really know about social distancing, but the went all out for masks.
