I'm one of those people who are skeptical of everything and would be the last to panic. But for some reason now I'm getting spooked.
Did the H1N1 situation in 2009 look as bad as the current situation?
No but the financial markets had already collapsed by that point so people were more concerned about that
Not even close. This is the real deal.
I don't get it. Swine Flu infected millions of millions of people. How did it not have a worse reaction than Covid?
it wasn't as deadly. swine flu had under 1% mortality rate.
>How did it not have a worse reaction than Covid?
Swine flu was a flu that doesn't hide in neural tissue to avoid detection by the immune system. The elites know and they are fucking scared.
33 years old here. I remember SARS, swine flu, bird flu, ebola, all of that shit. Nothing in my lifetime has been even a little bit close to Corona. This is going to be big.
Yea, I don't get it either... something fishy is going on for sure.
This flu will probably infect billions with a higher mortality rate.
no
>making shit up
coomer bait should be a bannable offense
This is so much worse than H1N1 they aren’t even in the same class
No. They didn’t shut everything down for h1n1
I asked my a granddad who remembers the Spanish flu and he told me Corona panic is way worse
12,000 people in the US died from swine flu in 2009-2010. On average 70k people die each year from the common H1N1/H1N2 seasonal flu.
The good news is that corona isn’t that deadly in its current state. The bad news is that it is most certainly a biological weapon that is incredibly transmissible.
Ask yourself why else would world governments be going absolute apeshit about containing people when it isn’t very deadly? To reduce its chances of mutating into something worse.
My guess is that it was developed in the west to be used in a total-war scenario against the Chinese military, but it was smuggled out of a Canadian bio lab by double agent(s). The chinks aren’t dumb by any means but obviously they are a developing nation and don’t have the same biological containment protocols that are common in the west.
Some lazy procedures helped the virus escape the lab in Wuhan, and since the virus was designed to target Chinese people, they have suffered the most deaths since its release. Everyone else (excluding the elderly and those with lung problems) gets over the virus in the same amount of time as a cold.
39 year old user here. I don’t get the hype. I think it’s just all to hurt Trump before the election because nothing else worked.
They didn’t have the internet though
Yeah, the panic is worse because people are faggots compared to back then.
>making shit up
>H1N1 was massively over-hyped as well
>The Rich are not immune to fearmongering
>Ebola tanked the market for a minute too
Don't trust the media, don't get overhyped, wash your damn hands, listen to the WHO and the CDC not the media, it is election year and manufacturing a crisis is good for ratings and elections.
Panic is worse because of social media and the age of inter-connectivity. Still, if entire countries going under lock-down doesn't make you realize something big is happening, then I don't know what it will take for the "it's just a flu bro" crowd to wake up.
h1n1 was nothing compared to this.
I had H1N1, and the panic wasn't as great then, as it is now, because the fatality rates for COVID19 are so high. The world is not prepared for tens of millions of people suddenly dying.
No, H1N1 was a flop, as stated by S. Mackenzie.
Kelly Monaco
Not even close
Lol Ebola is far worse than covid. Imagine having a fever of 105 and bleeding from ever hole in your body. It just doesnt vector like Corona. The human body is amazing, given a long enough timeline, my bet is it learns to deal with this virus at some level.
because you retards don't know anything about r0. you look at the mortality rate and that's all you do.
so let us calculate. what will kill more people.
mortality rate: 50% and a r0 about 1.1-1.3
OR
mortality rate: 1-2% and a r0 between 3-7, let's say 4.
go, do the math and than you will understand why mortality rate on it's own doesn't tell you shit.
No not even close-I am almost 50 and never saw anything like this
Yeah but you fell for it. Seek the reason for your choices and improve yourself.
Influenza strains have a case mortality of 0.01 to 0.1%
Covid-19s is over 3% meaning you have a 1/33 chance of dying at best
media is trying to spook you this time
h1n1 was just as bad but there was less media attention
>global pandemic and lockdown of foreign nations to influence our elections
34 here. Get real dude, the fearmongering is worse but there’s some other reason. Maybe it’s real
Based high IQ user.
Corona is the global elite Satanists "pinging" the mass extinction server
There isn't going to be an election.
A swift and critical reaction will keep the general population uninfected and give the virus time to burn itself out without risking the immune-compromised, elderly, and children.
Bullshit. Was your granddad born prior 1910 and still alive today?
MSM has never had so much power to cause mass hysteria before, see
It isn't a bio weapon you retards.
So, your grandfather is 110 years old?
But it is.
huh? Bro on 9/11 MSM was telling me WW3 was tomorrow.
Please regale us all with more of your learned wisdom
No it didn't, and also give me a name please
Trudeau has cracked. He takes every opportunity to hide. Canada has no one at the wheel, just a bunch of jews and poo's shouting at a Chinese navigation system.
spoon feed me the answer, hans
>elites
The (((elites))) caused this.
its not as hyped up as this virus, but H1N1 was more about a what if scenario which still applies even now: if the virus mutates to allow it to more easily infect humans, it would be an 'end-of-times'-tier disease
honestly, people should have at the bare minimum of at least a 2week supplies worth on long-lasting emergency stuff @ all times
During H1N1, not everyone had the internet in their pocket.
I remember not going to school because of it
fag
There are plans here to screen the entire population for this and take a look at the genome by DeCode Genetics. One of the reasons for this is to take a look at how SARS-COV-2 compromises or avoids the immune system. These are the words of the head geneticist, the man in charge of the company. I wonder why he would have these suspicions. Maybe he has read the Thai research paper.
not even close to this.. it was something to watch and notice but it was not like this
blow me ;*
The threat isn't the virus but the panic and the resulting imminent crash
When I was a little kid in the 80's the media was telling us that 9/10 Americans were gonna get aids.
No. Nothing in living memory has provoked this kind of response.
59 yr old fuck here. i healthy mostly, not so scared for myself ( a bit) but really really fearful for the whole lot of you, this shit is the return to the historical, normal state of Mankind,,, death is always with us, it can't be video gamed away.
>the people who jet set all over the world constantly and shake hands with hundreds of people a week released a highly contagious and dangerous disease
Doubt.
That and the collapse of the medical system
Both of these are lies. SARS, bird, swine, they were all heavily covered. From the very beginning the media covered these outbreaks as if they were the end of the world. They had nearly 24 hour coverage discussing every symptom, every rumour, every fact, every statistic. They told people what to stock up on, they constantly talked about worse case scenarios.
This time, for over a month they did everyrthing they could to ignore it, a cat getting helped out of a tree received more coverage. Because of this, no one took it seriously and the virus was able to spread easily.
It's not a fucking coincidence. They purposefully ignored a story that could have got them tons of ratings, a story they traditionally would have drooled over, and this is after spending the last 5 years doing everything they could to stoke fear. So what's the reason? Either they are trying to cover up the horrible truth, or they are in on it, whatever it is.
Be Ready
that sputtered so bad outside of asia i practically forgot it happened. this seems like it's got more to its spread and likely a bit more dangerous.
the media are working overtime on trump and basically kissed obama's ass 24/7 and still do but this is beyond that if you are trying to compare american media attention. if a dog shits in their yard at this point it's because something trump did. they don't care if they are the boy who cried wolf and people tuned them out when it matters. they just jump because they are dipshits told to jump by $. but it's them and their reputation as hopeless morons costing lives now as much as "it's just a flu" memers think they gotchaed trump.
trips of baste
This. Nothing in almost anyone’s lifetime has been like this. You have to go back to 1918,
the liberal media covered it up couldn't make the black man responsible for 1k american deaths.
that's the actual lethal parameter.
It's true that no one would benefit more from Trump getting ousted than China, but I really don't think they are competent enough for this. Sure the Chinese government is malicious enough to target it's own citizens, but the one thing I trust over China's malice is its incompetency.
head of the CDC said yesterday corona has 1% mortality. you stupid fuck
Poor girl. Selling her almost-nude body so horny men can masturbate to her.
Fuck OP, stop your simping.
When avian flu panic started, I read a book by a dr during 1918 flu. He refused to give aspirin, the new drug of the day, and didn’t lose a patient.
Not even close. H1N1 was literally JUST A FLU bro it didn't have the dramatic shit like collapsing in the streets and breathing apparatuses. This Corona Virus shit is the Travel disruption of 9/11, the economic disruption of 2008, the shipping disruption of the Anthrax scar, the panic of Y2K, and all of the Virus Scares of the past 20 years.
It is like every major happening of the last 20+ years has been rolled into a Super Happening. It is beautiful.
Well she was in playboy, so get to cooming
Ebola doesn't spread if you keep things clean and the high mortality rate means it spreads even slower since viruses need a host to replicate. The R0 of SARS-COV-2 terrifyingly high as is the incubation period making it much worse.
asprin lowers fever and fever fights the flu
Is anyone outside of China having that weird collapsing shit happen?
Checked. You want some somber entertainment, head over to Jewtube and watch some of the interviews with 1918 survivors
no. I believe in your ability to use your brain.
if the r0 is 1 it means, everyone who is infected will infect another one.
if the r0 is 1.1 it means, everyone who is infected will infect another one, but every 10th patient will infect 2.
when you deal with this shit, you try to get the r0 down to 1 or even under 1. if you can do it, you have the outbreak under control.
flu has a r0 about 1.1-1.3, which means it's mega fucking easy to bring that shit down to 0.9 or even lower. fuck if you just keep infected people at the hospital, they r0 will fall unter 1.
a r0 about 2 means every infected infects 2 new people. that's when shit is starting to become really bad. the only chance to stop something with a r0 of 2 is what china has done. hard lockdown. or vaccine ofc.
everything above 2, which can't be lowered is a horror scenario. the higher the number the faster cases will flood your medical system.
covid-19 has something between 3 and 7.
imagine it being just 3. every infected patient will infect 3 new until 75% of ALL people have developed herd immunity.
greetings, fellow
would you mind explaining what r0 stands for?
thanks in advance.
Rush Limbaugh is absolutely retarded. He's been going on and on all day about how coronavirus isn't shit because swine flu infected 60 million. Meanwhile coronavirus is way more deadly and contagious but this fact seems to completely escape him. All he's saying is 60 gorillion infected with swine flu and its nothing! It's all a democrat hoax! Coronavirus will barely make you sick! blah blah blah. What an absolute fucking moron.
Not at all. I barely heard about it. Same with SARS. They sent out flyers for school kids to take home that was it.
