Wasn’t this flu supposed to kill off 60% of the population or something? Honestly scientists and commentators need to stop watching so many bad sci-fi movies.

Hand sanitizer everywhere you look.
People staying home when sick.
Etc.

The H1N1 scare has introduced sanitary practices that have prevented other diseases from spreading.

If they’d gotten the billions they wanted, the WHO would be patting itself on the back for having saved humanity. It’s the same as the global warming scam-cap and tax, if passed, will be credited for having saved civilization when the great global warming catasrophe failed to materialize.

This was the first year I didn’t get a flu shot at all. I was nervous, but for some reason I just didn’t get one...just never got around to it.

Haven’t been sick at all luckily.

Amazingly mild season despite the weather goes to show the whole myth of the flu coming from the cold to be way wrong.

Wow...and I’m in the high risk group and never get flu shots..well, there was one year, but after getting sick as a dog, never again. Ain’t I supposed to be dead by now?

Could it be that all of the precautions worked?

If you look at the CDC plot of influenza, it looked very scary at the beginning, with H1N1 cropping up in significant strength at a time when flu is mild, just like the 1918 flu. “The Experts” were extremely worried and blew the siren and started the Drudge flashing light. Many took it seriously. It was an anomalous pattern involving a zoonosis that crossed over.

It turned out not to be a big deal, but the actual incidence could have been steeply reduced by bathing the USA (and other nations) in hand sanitizer and elbow coughs.

BTW my Purell stock did nicely. My Jimmy Dean stock, not so good.

Very simple answer. As in so many things, guvmint doesn’t know what it is talking about.
