I am glad you are back with us now. H1N1 was as bad a covid in our neck of the woods with one important difference. It was young people who were on vents and dying. those of us old enough to have had the Hong Mong flu in the 70s were partially immune. Obama did nothing - ignored it. We got through it without collapsing the economy and destroying civil liberties and life went on
My mom had the HK Flu in the 70s.
She stayed in bed at home and my dad and I took care of her.
She was sick as a dog.
Neither of us “got it” which makes no sense, considering we were as far from being “quarantined” from her as you could ever get.
Mild exposure as a kid maybe helped?
