Here are the facts in regards to the H1N1 pandemic
https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pandemic-res...-pandemic.html
Additionally, CDC estimated that 151,700-575,400 people worldwide died from (H1N1)pdm09 virus infection during the first year the virus circulated.** Globally, 80 percent of (H1N1)pdm09 virus-related deaths were estimated to have occurred in people younger than 65 years of age. This differs greatly from typical seasonal influenza epidemics, during which about 70 percent to 90 percent of deaths are estimated to occur in people 65 years and older.

Here is obama giving a press conference in regards to it.
He is playing it down and I remember this. Thank.God he did, or else who knows? Panic may have happened if the beloved press told us every day, every hour, every minute of the deaths around the world. Right Alaska? What do you think? This pandemic totally different from that pandemic Alaska? You, are the expert Alaska.
So, what I do know is I don't recall shutting down any borders or travel from places. Don't recall widespread mass testing being required. Do you?
I do remember cnn and msnbc and you guys praising the ever lving hell out of him though.
Huh.....
I also remember that this thing is more contagious and a hell of a lot more deadly. Not something the press says but literally every infectious disease expert. As we speak this virus is completely overwhelming the healthcare system of Italy, a healthcare system that has more beds, more doctors and more ventilators per capita than the US. So this drumbeat of versions of " this is not serious" seems not only not helpful but actually dangerous.
I truly hope I'm wrong, but chances are this will hit the US as hard if not harder than Italy. At that point though I'm pretty sure you and people like you will claim that they didn't say anything like this or claim some conspiracy.
So.H1N1 was not "really a pandemic."
Got it.
No wonder we weren't told every minute, every hour and svery day of the number of deaths world wide.
No big deal.
Maybe they should do degrees of pandemics, cause that pandemic was obviously no big deal.
No mass testing demanded, no travel bans. I mean, it wasn't a pandemic even though 80 percent of (H1N1)pdm09 virus-related deaths were estimated to have occurred in people younger than 65 years of age. According to the cdc.
Oh boy. Wasn't a pandemic. Good to know.
You act like being afraid of a virus that kills 1 in 50 and puts 1 in 5 in the hospital is unreasonable while you seem to be afraid of a word.
Yeah we got it. That pandemic was no big deal.
