“Coronavirus vs. swine flu (H1N1) – 2009-2010”

A lot of people are making the same mistake of claiming the first outbreak of Swine Flu was in 2009. Make me wonder if they actually spent any time at all researching (even a cursory Google search would be helpful) or if they are just copying someone else’s spiel to recycle. I remember it’s first time around in 1976.

In my book, the media and Democrats have created pandamonia to throw the economy into turmoil to bring Trump down. There wasn’t this type of hysteria during H1N1, Swine Flu, Ebola, MERS, SARS, etc. but then Trump wasn’t president at those times.

Hopefully they (whoever they are) will have shot for it by next Autumn.

It should be noted that coronaviruses can cause what amounts to a common cold, similar to rhinovirus infection. That’s why Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson thought they were just suffering from a cold when they were infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

the biggest difference is that the dem/media complex has been trying desperately to politicize this virus and are actually hoping for mass death and economic collapse. I don’t recall any of the others to have been politicized.

An excellent read for all of the pearl-clutchers here at FR. Thanks for posting.

I rad articles like this and try to figure out why people lie so much. According to this article, with the figures more relevant to our current situation dating in 2017-18, it indicates that flu is here every year and past virus appearances are far more dangerous that C-19.

Putting out articles from on line colleges partnered with Wikipedia, known to blow things out of proportion or just flat lie, is a further disgrace to the journalist industry.

Besides, they still can’t identify over 30 viruses that already exist. But if we over-react, the sky will fall.

This is a most informative article comparing the coronavirus Covid-19 with many other pandemics that have occurred in the past hundred years.

Did any of them tank any countries entire economies? I remember clearly the swine flu epidemic in the 70s and all the other ones since then but I don’t recall any economies being destroyed or any of the outbreaks being politicized.

Do not forget the first swine flu outbreak in 1976, hitting the Fort Dix/McGuire AFB, Dover AFB area. I was one of the five that got it on Dover AFB!

So 3,400 deaths far for CV-219, vs. about 250k-500k yearly deaths worldwide for the flu, vs. 1-4 million deaths Hong Kong flu, let along the Spanish flu, the vast numbers for which are questionable. .

The WHO advice is to: Wash your hands frequently with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.

Actually, it is before you eat that is most important, presuming you,

Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.

Meaning with unwashed hands.

Maintain social distancing (at least 1 metre/3 feet between yourself and anybody who is coughing or sneezing).

Rather, avoid being within 12 feet of such, or if outside when the wind is blowing, stand with the wind at your back and 3 feet away from an infected person. Hold your breath for 30 secs if you can if someone close sneezes close to you.

Cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze, ideally with your bent elbow or a tissue.

Yes, or inside a bulky coat if you cannot cover your mouth with the bent elbow.

Seek medical care early if you have a fever, cough, and difficulty breathing.

Not for just a fever or cough at least. Pray (see tag), rest and make sure you eat something nutritious (like tomato sauce and garlic), take your daily vitamin-mineral, keep hydrated, warm (and humid) but get fresh air and sun is possible.

Take protection measures if you are in or have recently visited areas where coronavirus is spreading.

Yes, we certainly could learn from history.

I am speaking now of people made desperate by the apprehensions of their being shut up, and their breaking out by stratagem or force, either before or after they were shut up, whose misery was not lessened when they were out, but sadly increased. On the other hand, many that thus got away had retreats to go to and other houses, where they locked themselves up and kept hid till the plague was over; and many families, foreseeing the approach of the distemper, laid up stores of provisions sufficient for their whole families, and shut themselves up, and that so entirely that they were neither seen or heard of till the infection was quite ceased, and then came abroad sound and well. I might recollect several such as these, and give you the particulars of their management; for, doubtless, it was the most effectual secure step that could be taken for such whose circumstances would not admit them to remove, or who had not retreats abroad proper for the case; for, in being thus shut up, they were as if they had been a hundred miles off. Nor do I recall that any one of those families miscarried. Among these several Dutch merchants were particularly remarkable, who kept their houses like little garrisons besieged, suffering none to go in or out or come near them...

Daniel Defoe, Journal of the Plague Year, 1722

Bugging in vs. bugging out. That conversation is 300 years old now.
