RE: Let’s see how it compares with H1N1.
An actual pandemic.
Well H1N1 was horrible and millions of people were infected — 1% to 3% of the world’s population were infected. Hundreds of thousands died.
But for some reason then, NOBODY I knew was infected then, and nobody I knew died.
Now with Covid-19, it is getting personal. Friends are sick and some have died.
Anecdotally reverse.
How old were you and your friends?
Unlike H1N1, this is pretty only killing people with underlying issues. Diabetics, cancer patients, folks with dicky hearts or extreme age...and only those people should have been quarantined.
H1N1 was killing kids and younger adults. The difference should have been noted and factored into policy decisions but it wasn’t.
