Just for comparison purposes, in the US, the Swine Flu killed 12,439 over the course of 15 months, from the first death reported until the pandemic was officially declared over. That’s an average of 27 per day. Certainly there were “good” days and bad days (and an intermission), but just for the sake of comparison. About 60 million were infected.
In 1 month since the first reported death in the US, CCP-19 has killed 2,588. That’s about 89 per day. Only about 1-2 million have been infected.
So the next guy that comes along asking why we didn’t do this for H1N1, ask them what they think the death toll would have been if we didn’t do this for *this* one.
It’s not the flu.
And we still have a ways to go.
It would be interesting to know many Swine Flu killed in its first month.
~Thanks~ for the info.
