It really makes no sense.... during the H1N1 outbreak.... 57,000,000 Americans or 1 in 6 were sickened over a 9 month period....almost 27-29,000 were hospitalized per month and over 10,000 died in America...... the response wasn’t anywhere close to this.

I know these aren't the current numbers.... But it does fit the overall picture.

Wrong....georgia just started testing in capacity, and they still dont have enough test. That's why the number of active cases are jumping up the way they are. The number of people recovered in the us is way lower than deaths.....that is scary.

When do they claim someone is recovered?

"While the U.S. H1N1 infection and death numbers are accurate, they reflect a year’s worth of data, as opposed to the numbers for COVID-19, for which the first death in the U.S. was reported less than a month ago. The media and public response to H1N1 in the U.S. cannot be accurately described as “totally chill” ."
Partly false claim: COVID-19 and H1N1 numbers compared; the public was “totally chill” during the H1N1 pandemic of 2009-2010 while COVID-19 is causing “mass hysteria”

Love how this “check” conveniently leaves out mandatory quarantines, stock market crash, economic ruin, and runs on paper products and cleaners.

Yes, compared to H1N1, this is absolutely mass hysteria vs total chill in terms of reaction.

Interesting is that the study quotes show that media over-emphasized the threat and didn’t do enough to inform on personal safety. Also, though social media existed, a quote said that more people got their info from traditional news sources and government websites. I think we can agree that has changed.

I don’t know if this was posted. I said from the beginning that testing is the key, for two reasons. One, it provides a larger sample size and shows better stats regarding mortality. If only the very sick and symptomatic are getting tested get what that does to your mortality rate? It skews it.
Two, it allows focused and effective quarantine of those who have it.

South Korea and Germany are providing more tests and reporting more results of those tests and their death rate is around what the flu is.

yes. It was completely about media response. Would be interested to see a side by side comparison of numbers and rate of spread. Like what were the restrictions in place when there were 25k infected and 300 dead??

While I tend to agree, the current 1.3% death rate (though hopefully will fall) is 7x higher than H1N1 was (0.2%).

Who knows what the actual death rate is, but the point you're making is what everyone is ignoring. The big scare to Fauci, CDC, etc is the high death rate. If these numbers are close to accurate 1 mil Americans would have died of H1N1 if it had the same mortality rate. That's what nobody seems to grasp.

The medical professionals I do business with say that the unique way this attacks the lungs is brutal. Due to second hand smoking as a child, my father-in-law only has 3/4 of one lung. Thankfully he's managed it well and taken good care of himself and basically has no issues. This virus would very likely be terminal for him. He's not someone that's in a nursing home and has one foot in the banana peel already.

Four kids under the age of 10 on ventilators in an East TN Hospital. Negative for flu, should have CV-19 results soon. Two of them live in the same neighborhood and are playmates, symptoms surfaced almost simultaneously.

Apples to oranges at this point. We are only 1-2 months into this. Way too early to make the comparison.
