Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I assume this comic is from 1918 because of the flu reference, but I don't know for sure.

Early research done during a previous epidemic demonstrated definitively how airborne transmission occurs, and how masking and to a lesser degree ventilation of indoor spaces could prevent transmission. This research was misinterpreted until SARS-CoV-2, when the research was reexamined. Masks, and other forms of air filtration work to prevent transmission of airborne pathogens. The number of people sickened and killed by COVID-19 was increased by the policies of the trump administration, and by the politicization of masking, a scientifically proven means to prevent transmission of airborne diseases. The trump administration has ‘blood on its hands’ for this action. And trump, and the others involved should be tried for these treasonous crimes. Please vote to make sure that their coup in progress doesn’t destroy democracy in the US and elsewhere.
