Why wasn't there this much freak-out over swine flu?

Jesus Christ, it should be obvious.
H1N1 had a 0.2% CFR.

This is at best case 4x worse.

Exactly. Every pandemic is unique and unpredictable, you can’t compare the two or the subsequent reactions. I was a TA in university during H1N1, I can tell you people were freaked out.

Me and my family boarded airplanes every week even towards the tail-end of it.

The internet hype machine didn't exist yet

>Comparing the end of a pandemic to the start of one
>Able to spread corona-chan before symptoms show
>Wiping boomers off the map
Shig de la dig

>coronavirus
>200k cases globally
>10k deaths globally

>Swine flu
>60 million cases in just the US (according to you)
>only 12000 deaths in the US

Gee I just don't know what's different here. Any guesses?

I mean just do the math on the shitty boomer post. 38/1329 = 0.03. 12.5/60800 = 0.0002

The death rate is 100x higher, so we're worried more.

This

Op is brain-dead and should consider suicide

I started prepping two months ago. I as incrementally stocking up across town a little bit at a time before people even started saying “it’s just the flu bro”. I had nothing to do with shortages because by the time people started catching wind and buying, I was at home totally prepped.

A retarded mutt that doesn't know how h1n1 spread and how covid is spreading, not to mention that h1n1 is a flu with 5% covid, while coronavirus is 97% covid which means its a fucking respiratory virus while h1n1 was just a flu. Kill yourself faggot.

Because H1N1 didn't overwhelm crematoria with mountains of corpses

>if
>wild speculation
Great post.

The flu causes a respiratory illness too...

Because Swine Flu started in Mexico and spread to America before going out around the planet. Obama's response was nothing like what Xi ordered.

For that matter, your post makes no sens.

I was literally in a room with a guy that had swine flu for a few hours and he coughed on the back of my head. I didn't get sick.

China will find ANY excuse to kill it's own people. Hell, they nearly whipped out sparrows because Mao saw them eat a bread crumb.

fuck off with your dumb neocon facebook meme shit. this is gonna kill a lot of people, probably some of whom you know and care about. grow up

We’re probably at the midpoint not the beginning.

>wild speculation by using the same numbers in OPs post
>this isnt
Kek fucking retard

Apparently covid is better smarter stronger and faster

one was a flu, the other is a virus

We are in no way at the midpoint. It’s just ramping up in most countries, we have months to go at least and it’ll inevitably be back in the fall.

You can’t be this dumb...

Happening in Italy right now. Italian military called in to haul corpses to outlying crematoria.

Because your statistics are already outdated. Now it's 14,000 people infected.

OK prepper

The media hates Trump and uses their propaganda machine to turn any and every issue into something he did "wrong".

Wrong. Most people in the know predict it will last until probably 2025. Yes, it's that bad.

Where did I get these figures? You'll never know, but be scared.

>Dead: 12,469
lol, still only 12,469.
How many days has it been stuck at 12,469? Ten years? Eleven years?

Inability to grasp hypothetical statements is a mark of primitive societies. Yes, "if" is a word in English, get over it

This prediction is based on flawed methodology and not a controlled clinical study.
There's not enough testing being done. Only people who are already presenting with severe symptoms are being tested. And then you haven't factored out comorbidity.

This is why.

It will come back as soon as they lift quarantines. A certain percent of the population has a weak immune system and will be weakly infectious for weeks or months.

I need this to be an actual campaign.

>a bunch of very old smokers die
>panic
H1N1 would've been far worse on them

Are you even paying attention?

It’s going to probably be here forever, it’ll be a seasonal illness.

We know for a fact h1n1 was not worse because h1n1 did not overwhelm crematoria with mountains of corpses

You realize your own image shows corona is a whole order of magnitude worse?

The fact is, if this infected the same number of people as the swine flu, which it likely would without the drastic measures we are enacting now because the r0 of this is higher than the swine flu, it would kill VASTLY more people than the swine flu and would cause our healthcare system to collapse.

Yes, and the Coronavirus kills less than the common cold
The (((Media))) is causing a freak-out for whatever reason and it causes idiots to freak-out and cause shortages. This is a crisis causes by the stupidity of people.

It will be here until there is a vaccine, which may be years out. SARS 1.0 has no vaccine yet.

I thought Chinese were supposed to be good at math. You should get a job at new York times

>did not overwhelm crematoria with mountains of corpses
Fake news. Starting to sound a lot like the holohoax. Pray for the 6 gorrillion, goy!

Bacon is delicious. No one here wants to eat a bat.

If it lasts that long, the economic depression and mass starvation will kill 100x the amount of people the virus does.

You are seriously retarded. Please go lick some doorknobs

>Yes, and the Coronavirus kills less than the common cold
You sound like the dumb niggers and ignorant low iq people on twitter. By the way i think you mean the flu not the common cold you fucking idiot. And yeah the flu has thousands of years to spread and mutate this just started 4 months ago

You are retarded.

SARS has a vaccine, it just makes the disease worse. No reason to think we’ll be better off developing a safe vaccine for this one.

After a while there will be some herd immunity but alot of people will die in the process

Thanks globalism, China and Boomers. Thanks alot!

>whatever reason
Crash the Markets and say it's all big orange poopy head's fault.
Cuomo signs executive order while Trump is in the middle of a sentence pertaining to proactive sentiments. It says it all.

Bullshit. It’s over in China. It’s ending in South Korea. It’s peaking in Italy. Looking at the global infection map, it’s pretty close to an inflection point. It’s only a couple of weeks before global infections start to plateau.

Watch experts start to walk back their doomsday predictions over the next few days.

>assuming the models
I actually agree entirely and I have told other people who are smart that IF you tell someone and "if" statement or projection and they ignore the "if", then they are morons.

However, I HONED IN ON THE IF, and pointed out that it was a wild and ridiculously large if.
Do I even have to tell you that you are a brainlet?

You fucking retard, it will always be around. Like the flu. Even if there's a vaccine, it will be around. Like the flu. Even with a vaccine, people will die. Like the flu. When everything goes back to normal, people will get sick and die.

Screenshot this post and start a thread with it in.one month.

Pray for the 6 gorrillion that died during the corona virus outbreak!

You only started paying attention and that's the problem. 5 million people die worldwide from pneumonia alone each year (and there are other life threatening acute respiratory conditions to consider on top of that). And most of those come in the early spring. We're only testing people who present with acute respiratory illness. But there's any number of other virii and bacteria that might be infecting them as well. We're looking for Corona in people who are sick and we're finding it because it's everywhere including in the healthy population. But we're not finding those cases and thus the death statistics are skewed to shit

Also, tests are in low supply and they don’t represent real numbers.

It's over until they start lifting quarantine. lol

You mean the rebellion.

And you didnt even preface your dumb schizo bullshit with if. You just expressly stated it

>only 39 dead what could go wrong?

Yeah people of all ages are being put on respirators which are currently out because it's just the flu bro

You’re the xoomer who started the thread asking about H1N1. Sorry you can’t fathom a global pandemic and have to convince yourself it is a hoax because it doesn’t fit into your comfortable inexperience life.

this, OP is a retard who cannot think properly

Near universal vaccination rates get the R0 to less than one

....retard

That's right, every flu season we get mountains of corpses and for some reason we're just now noticing.

t. subhuman retard

>old lifelong smokers die
>REEEEEEEE

>it's over in China
>they even pulled Docs out of Wuhan
>Wuhan is still a fucking ghost town without even one car driving down the street for hours
lol

Cool...I’ll add my prediction for total deaths
800-1100 in US, 15-17000 global.

It's quadrupled since that meme was made

We need a supercomputer to find all the retards who can't understand exponents and they need to be marked for sterilization

We will never reach the starts on not-understanding-exponents-retard genetics

That always happens anyway. Just because young people are less susceptible to acute pneumonia doesn't mean it doesn't happen

This is presuming we don't get a shot for the virus, which we will.
