We had 12K die in the U.S. during Swine Flu. What was different?

Trump wasn't president, and there wasn't a group of global/elite powers lined up working to remove him by any means necessary so he wouldn't destroy their globalist plans and expose all the criminal activity of American's being fleeced for 'aid' for other nations.

How many countries get billions from the US? How many of them are scared the gravy train will end because of this president?

The answer only requires ONE word ...... Trump. If there is no Trump in office we wouldn’t hear shiiiiiet about it

Because back then the Anointed One was president, a blameless faultless perfect human being who was trying to sell us socialized medicine. Today the tactic is to try to do anything to get Trump out of office, even if it breaks America.

H1N1 or Swine or whatever was not nearly as contagious, did not have a 2-14 day incubation and was only contagious (as I recall) to those who were symptomatic so the spread was far easier to control without shutting anything down - DUH come on buys compare something equivalent for a change - oh wait you don't have one.

What you can compare is our presidents response to the governments response at the time. Considering the diff in the two diseases both were probably appropriate.

The CDC estimated that 60.8 million Americans caught the swine flu. That is about one in 5 Americans. Fortunately, it had a very low mortality rate.

Every flu we have had since then has had no where near as many estimated cases, but all had a higher morality rate than the swine flu - in a few cases the death toll was several times higher.
