[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Out of curiosity, I pulled up the infection and death totals for H1N1 today. I was astonished to see how high they were. I don’t remember paying really any attention to that as a news story back in 2009. Was it covered less, somehow less scary, or am I just getting old and less cavalier?[/quote]

It didn't spread as far. I remember feeling the same in the beginnings of the outbreak as for this coronavirus -- but it didn't get as far and so petered out.

And where exactly is your official source that ”It didn't spread as far” ???  Give an official cdc.gov or who.int source. Don’t spread misinformation![/quote]

Sorry, you are right, I should have been more precise. I should have said that it didn't kill as many people as early as this (in my head was thinking that the scare didn't spread as far, not necessarily the disease). Source talking about relative mortality rates:

Related excerpt:

"The coronavirus outbreak is more severe than the 2009 outbreak of H1N1, or swine flu. That illness infected between 700 million and 1.4 billion people worldwide but only had a mortality rate of 0.02%."
