The last pandemic was a ‘quiet killer.’ Ten years after swine flu, no one can predict the next one.
(https://www.statnews.com/2019/06/11/h1n1-swine-flu-10-years-later/)some excerpts:
Since it started circulating in the spring of 2009, H1N1 has infected about 100 million Americans, killing about 75,000 and sending 936,000 to the hospital, the CDC estimates. Another virus, H3N2, is responsible for more infections, but “in terms of the severity, H1 is kind of this quiet killer,” said Dr. Daniel Jernigan, head the CDC’s flu division.
A study published in 2013 suggested between 123,000 and 200,000 people globally may have died as a result of the 2009 H1N1 pandemic.From the US CDC:
1968 Pandemic (H3N2 virus). The estimated number of deaths was 1 million worldwide and about 100,000 in the United States.
1957-1958 Pandemic (H2N2 virus). The estimated number of deaths was 1.1 million worldwide and 116,000 in the United States.
1918 Pandemic (H1N1 virus). It is estimated that about 500 million people or one-third of the world’s population became infected with this virus. The number of deaths was estimated to be at least 50 million worldwide with about 675,000 occurring in the United States.
So it all makes this covid-19 thing look whipped up by the media. It is all so convenient for its governing politics and governments.
