Does anyone have more than a vague recollection of H1N1, also known as swine flu?

I do. It almost killed my wife who was in her early 30's. Caused real bad pancreatitis.

But I get the larger point though.

I only have a vague recollection of impeachment these days. :)

I remember it, too, because I got it and felt crappy for two weeks.

I remember it as well because my then 5yr old had it and got permanent lung damage to his lower left lobe. He has had pneumonia four times since them so I am concerned about Covid. I get the point to though. This just seems to strike certain populations harder and differently than the swine flu did. I don’t know what to think so being more cautious seems like the best thing to do.

same here- My MIL never recovered from COPD which developed as a complication from infection in early 2010. The assisted living residence she was in had a nearly identical situation as what happened in Seattle area. However, being Dear Leader’s home state and all....move along people....
