You haven’t been paying attention. The H1N1 killed over forty thousand between November and the middle of February

Plus calling every pneumonia death a Wuhan death inflates the numbers

The numbers being thrown around by some states by their officials is ridiculous

From April 12, 2009 to April 10, 2010, CDC estimated there were 60.8 million cases (range: 43.3-89.3 million), 274,304 hospitalizations (range: 195,086-402,719), 12,469 deaths

Where are you getting your H1N1 number from because the CDC says 12,469. Dr. Fauci said H1N1 was far less lethal than normal seasonal flu in congressional testimony.

From Wikipedia:

“The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that from April 12, 2009 to April 10, 2010, there were 60.8 million cases, 274,000 hospitalizations, and 12,469 deaths (range: 8,868–18,306) in the United States due to the virus.[117]”

We now have almost 3 times as many deaths in one month. And this from an infected population that could be 5,000,000 but is very unlikely to exceed 10,000,000. Way less than the Swine Flu count of 60,000,000.

You are making an apples and oranges comparison. The Coronavirus is much, much worse than the Swine Flu.

We hardly noticed the Swine Flu. It was a blip.
