Now, of course, we\u2019re destroying young people.

Pay no attention to that. This is about power and doing anything, anything to get power. That\u2019s why Nancy Pelosi says she doesn\u2019t want the covid hysteria to end. Take audio 3.<\/p>\n<p>PELOSI: In fact, if you listen very closely to what he said, we\u2019re at a place where we will begin to see &#8212; we will begin to see &#8212; and then he also cautions against, uh, a surge in the virus. If we\u2019re going to grow the economy with confidence, we\u2019ve got to crush the virus.

Not the Spanish flu. Eisenhower had a horrible flu season in \u201957. By the way &#8212; by the way, friends &#8212; if you want to know why no one trusts the so-called public health experts, A, they were wrong.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Come to Chinatown! Don\u2019t wear a mask. We don\u2019t need any of the bans on travel.&#8221; Then it was a 180. &#8220;Oh, my God, the world is ending!&#8221; They\u2019ve been wrong everywhere they\u2019ve been. But in 2019 and 2020, there were 38 million cases of the flu &#8212; 38 million. (laughing) Do you know how many flu cases &#8212; that no one has been able to explain adequately &#8212; there have been this year?<\/p>\n<p>Do you have any idea? Try 1,822. There were 38 million the previous winter. This winter, 1,800 cases. What the hell. Who are you kidding? You wonder why people are reluctant to latch on to, &#8220;Your vaccine passport, please&#8221;? No, I\u2019m not against vaccines. In fact, I think we\u2019re getting close to herd immunity, which is why Pelosi of course is wrong.<\/p>\n<div id=\"zype_5ff77c635a3a90000119ccd5\"><\/div>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/player.zype.com\/embed\/5ff77c635a3a90000119ccd5.js?api_key=6yUf3WZePk78GtpC3BXdZSqZ5ma_gYmV_rEJ8OYJZ0wq3AlDKM2RFnOcBN0xiMco&amp;controls=true\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>We can open up tomorrow, but they don\u2019t want to do that because it destroys the stimulus package.

So this has been&#8230; They\u2019ve been able to circumvent election laws.<\/p>\n<p>And too bad the Supreme Court didn\u2019t bother to enforce the Constitution, because it was a violation of the Constitution. Only state legislatures may change election laws. There\u2019s no pandemic exception to the Bill of Rights, to the Constitution, and yet they did it. Hey, great work if you can find it. This is what we\u2019re in: A Kafkaesque, dystopian, Orwellian, not 1984, 2021. And this is where Rush figured out that we may have already cured the flu. Cue audio 4.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I was talking about the flu earlier. I think that it\u2019s worth noting here that we may have cured it. We may have cured the flu. Well, let me &#8216;splain what I mean. we\u2019ve gone from 7,703 positive flu tests to 36 flu tests in either one or two years. That sounds like a cure to me. Why do you think that is? What could possibly be the explanation for this? Have you heard of a new flu vaccine? Have you seen people lining up to get their flu shots and vaccines in record numbers?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-339027\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/APP-030320-Coronavirus-Rush.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/APP-030320-Coronavirus-Rush.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/APP-030320-Coronavirus-Rush-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Have you seen any news reports about the new successful treatment for the flu?

There\u2019s even a little blurb here.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;CDC reports record low positive flu tests as coronavirus cases surge nationwide, the flu has seen a remarkable dip. Reported cases of influenza reached record lows.&#8221; It\u2019s in the Washington Examiner. It\u2019s a miracle. We\u2019ve cured the infections called the flu! They\u2019ve been plaguing mankind for hundreds of years. Did COVID do it? Maybe so. Maybe so.<\/p>\n<p>JASON: Or maybe not. (laughing) I mean, as Rush points out sarcastically, who in their right mind believes that the covid restrictions have taken flu cases from 38 million&#8230;? (laughing) It\u2019s been as high as 60 million in many, many seasons past. You know, \u201968 was a horrible year, and H1N1 in 2009. We never shut down the economy. We never took away people\u2019s civil liberties.
