2009 Swine Flu: 300,000 global deaths, 12,000 US deaths...barely a peep in the media

also, chink numbers are bs.

social media

We had vaccine against swine flu, and it wasn't even close to as contagious.

Do the people who didnt get hospitalized know that?

Anglo education everyone.

Whenever the media is discovers a new avenue of attack they sit back and gather information. They keep viewership metrics of everything they broadcast and look at what is most successful/attention grabbing. Pandemics were something that were spoken little of in the past, but they noticed that preppers and happeners get them free publicity on social media and by word of mouth.

I mean you have a point, but

easier to push through QE5 and navigate the current banking crisis with this to blame. in the absence of this, people would be a lot more uppity about the shortcomings of the banking system but with all this shit going on anything can be passed.

Closed cases of COVID-19 in Italy have resulted in almost half of infected dying.
Your comparison is irrelevant.

All I remember from the swine flu was my work sending an email about sanitation practices and they setup hand sanitation stations on each floor of our building. That was fucking it. Definitely don’t recall a fear of quarantine or lockdown.

Kike boomers don't eat swine.

I remember it being a pretty big deal, but there was a vaccine available pretty quickly. Dunno how effective it was. I remember it hurting like hell (the early vaccine).

> We didn't panic hard enough and let 300,000 people die last time
> Let's not panic again so 300,000 more people can die
> So we can save the economy

This is your brain on jewish "capitalism"

Obama was president then so of course the media sucked his dick as people died. Meanwhile, everything Trump does is somehow wrong.

Holy shit that's incredibly embarrassing, ashamed to under the same flag as you fs

Swine flu was all the rage. Only zoomers don't remember. It only lasted for like 2 or 3 months before people forgot about it, though.

>the world shuts down!
>for only 6300 dead!
Yes. It's called prevention. To prevent more people will die. Like a lot more. If we'd let this slide and go on with business as usual and give it two more months, then millions would die.
What part of exponential growth do you not understand?
What part of preventive measurements do you not understand?

>17,750 infected

>"almost half of infected dying"

Dumb niggers like you are why the rest of the world hates America. Where in the south are you from cleetus?

Neos own the Media, and currently the majority of the Neo's are Democrats/Liberals.

You’re so fucking dumb. Does it hurt to be that dumb? Real question.

Also long incubation period could be the reason to alarm.

Social media was still in its infancy, so misinformation didn't travel fast enough.

I'm ashamed to have you in my herd.

I see you lack an actual rebuttal.

>barely a peep in the media
You clearly were too young to remember 2009 then. It was everywhere in the news. Not as big as the current pandemic, but it was big news. Everyone over the age of 12 knew what was happening.
Thankfully I was NEET that year and barely went outside, so I was fine.

The numbers are bullshit, you're a retard for believing them.

shut downs are not because of the virus
they are for the coming economic collapse you fool

Honestly you people laugh at the coronavirus hoarders, but you really dont have enough coronavrius yourselves. The average person uses 3 coronaviruses per day. If you have a family of 4, that's 84 coronaviruses a week. Over 300 a month. Cronoaviruses will be worth their weight in gold in a few months, because everyone needs it.

Half of the cases where outcome was known retard. There are thousands of people in the hospitals and a high number of them will die. Mortality in Italy is near 10%

>eventually all cases will have to be hospilatized for the Corona unless treated with strong antivirals in the very first 48 hours.
ok retard

Don't worry, I'm sure your real argument would have sucked anyways, so not arguing at all was probably your best bet.

The difference is that the swine flu killed 300,000 after infecting half of the global population

>Closed cases of COVID-19 in Italy have resulted in almost half of infected dying.

It's because of the shortcomings of the Italian HC system and demographics of the sick.

Diamond princess is the only place on earth where everyone was tested. 3,011 tested, 629 positives, 7 deaths....which would suggest a 1% mortality rate.

Germany has reported 8 total deaths despite 5000 cases - the Italians are bungling their response.

>Mortality in Italy is near 10%
Because they're only testing people who show up sick to the hospital (old Italians who probably smoke).

>barely a peep in the media

Are you joking or just so young you don't remember? The media was inciting panic as much as they are now.

Based on what? There has never been a virus in history that mutated to be more deadly retard you just making shit up?

Fun fact: swine flue is still around and you’ve probably gotten it. People just gradually became more immune to it over time. It’s actually pretty interesting

>What is the difference here?
infection rate

>We had vaccine against swine flu, and it wasn't even close to as contagious.

Trumptards ignore facts.

Oh I didn't know a cruise ship was representative of a normal population. I'm sure there were a lot of bed ridden and people over 80yo aboard the diamond princess.

>Oh I didn't know a cruise ship was representative of a normal population. I'm sure there were a lot of bed ridden and people over 80yo aboard the diamond princess.
Cruise ship populations tilt towards the older demographic.

This from an american. You're going to have to eat those words in a couple of weeks.

It's actually the death rate. Swine flu pretty much infected everyone and only killed that much after much of the world population was infected.

we're not anywhere near the end of corona-chan's visit, that's the difference. Comparing it to final numbers for swine flu is irrelevant.

It's not unlikely that as much as +100k can have been infected in Italy already. From what I've heard some get hardly any symptoms so they wouldn't have been tested.
Looking at the number of dead vs other countries and considering lack of testing it's likely the case imo

You mean healthy old folk?

Corona is more deadly and more contagious for one

This

>You mean healthy old folk?
Average old folks.

He's right, the flu is a virus.
Seethe harder, bong

BOOMER REMOVER XDDDD

you can't look at "closed cases" in the middle of the epidemic, it will always be biased towards the dead. Instead, remove numbers that are newer than 1 month or so to get more stable statistics.

this has the potential to kill 10s of millions if not contained

>H1N1
>60800000 cases
>12469 deaths
>kill percentage 0.02%

>COVID-19
>Currently has a 3.7% kill rate
>"Calm down bro, it's only 185 times more deadly."

The difference is that a man named Donald Trump is in office so everything needs to be a much bigger deal than it would otherwise.

I can guarantee you tens of millions of people across the world are already infected so that mortality rate is likely very exaggerated

A flu is a flu you can't say It's only a virus

This. Sure there is a lot of over panicking and dumb faggots hoarding toilet paper, but I'd rather have people panicking and staying home, than not giving a fuck and going out infecting everyone. Panic in this sense will save lives.

Economy and business are more valuable than the old piece of boomer shitheads! They’re gonna die eventually anyway

> what are lethality rates

wew stfu & kys kike.

His unclean ass

This. Most people recover at home.

Retard

It could have a 100% mortality rate and it'd still be a nothingburger in a practical sense. Viruses sound scary because retards can't do math. It could kill millions of people and it'd still be behind car accidents and diabetes, let alone heart disease and cancer. Nobody shuts the world down over car accidents, and yet the 6k people who have died globally are suddenly a reason to go full Madagascar on a global scale.

This, plus around 50% more infectious then swineflu.

Also it's novel so we aren't even sure what else it has up it's sleeves. for example lots of reports of reinfections. This would be really bad.

>>H1N1

>>"Calm down bro, it's only 185 times more deadly."

Is it retarded? H1N1 had 300,000 global deaths, 12,000 deaths in the US.

3.7% "kill rate" is because not everyone is being tested.....on the Diamond Princess cruise ship, 3000 people were left in a Corona petri-dish for a week....~650 people contracted the virus, only 7 died, suggesting a 1% mortality rate on a ship full of boomers, with very limited medical care.

>What is the difference here?
We are ~3 Months into Covid vs. 20+ months that Swine Flu had to generate her numbers.

7/10. good bait.

Hey Boris. I see you studied up on dumb, well done!

The main difference is the more severe symptoms of this virus requires intensive care in a hospital, and there's only so many spots available for intensive care, which means with enough people, it's very easy to collapse the healthcare system, instantly inducing mass panic.

It's a boomer plague. Take a guess why it matters.

>"Calm down bro, it's only 185 times more deadly."
Uh, no it isn't Actual mortality rate can only be determined once the virus has burned out and true dead/infected can be assessed. At this point, only a tiny portion of the infected population are actually confirmed as infected through testing.

chad confirmed DNA tested cases vs virgin estimatesi

Evidence?

Exactly why Italy has gone to hell. Its the sheer amount of people in a small time period that require ICU beds and equipment.

No matter which country you live in with numbers like that rising so fast there is little you can do really.
