The H1N1 virus is still with us as part of the regular flu. Actually it is the largest strain reported at 50-60%. Since annual flu deaths are not yet known, even for the 2009-2010 outbreak, H1N1 probably kills the same number it did then. The CDC doesn’t report exact numbers; only ranges. The death toll for the “swine flu” was 8800 to 18,880 deaths.
To me the only number to watch is the death rate. How many actually contract the virus is unknowable. Getting scared and projecting from Chinese or Italian experience is a waste of time. Look at the Swiss. They have a high infection rate and low death rate. We’re more like the swiss than we are like the Chinese or Italians in terms of resources and age profile.
Bad comparison. Switzerland is much smaller geographically AND they've instituted tougher measures nationwide than we have in order to flatten the curve and avoid the breakdown of their healthcare system.
