Can we get some updated counts from JPP infectious disease experts?

I read 350 known cases 16 deaths. But we are not really testing much so we don’t know the truth.

Did you express any concerns about "not testing much" or not knowing "the truth" during the 2009 pandemic, Brad?

Allow me to present you with some relevant facts:

In 2009, H1N1 became a pandemic.

Months later, in October, B. Hussein Obama declared a public health emergency.

By that time, the disease had already infected millions of Americans and more than 1,000 Americans had already succumbed.

Yes, that's right. Between the time the H1N1 flu pandemic began in April, 2009, and October, 2009, when Obama finally acted, millions of people in the United States had been infected, at least 20,000 had been hospitalized, and more than 1,000 had already died, according to Dr. Thomas Frieden, who was then Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Dr. Frieden fretted at the time because official efforts to create a vaccine had failed.

He said, "We are nowhere near where we thought we would be. As public health professionals, vaccination is our strongest tool. Not having enough is frustrating to all of us."

Dr.Frieden added that while the way vaccine is manufactured is "tried and true," it's not well-suited for ramping up production during a pandemic because it takes at least six months, to produce vaccines, which are made by growing weakened virus in eggs.

But wait, there's more.

According to Virology Journal, the 2009 H1N1 entered the USA from Mexico: "The swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) virus that appeared in 2009 and was first found in human beings in Mexico, is a reassortant with at least three parents. Six of the genes are closest in sequence to those of H1N2 'triple-reassortant' influenza viruses isolated from pigs in North America around 1999-2000".

In 2015, there was a new H1N1 outbreak in the country. Who was still in the White House then, Brad?

You are compounding your stupidity? Yes I agree

I chanced upon some good news from the world of science for Jackoff and other leftist SIMPS.

Masturbation boosts Jackoff's immune system, helping him fight off infection and illness.

Hey, Brad.




Influenza AKA “the flu” and COVID-19, the illness caused by the new coronavirus, are both infectious respiratory illnesses. Although the symptoms of COVID-19 and the flu can look similar, the two illnesses are caused by different viruses.

As of Mar. 7, 2020, the flu is showing much more of an impact on Americans than COVID-19.

Both may be prevented by frequent, thorough hand washing, coughing into the crook of your elbow, staying home when sick and limiting contact with people who are infected.

COVID-19: Caused by one virus, the novel 2019 coronavirus, now called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, or SARS-CoV-2.

Flu: Caused by any of several different types and strains of influenza viruses.

While both the flu and COVID-19 may be transmitted in similar ways, there is also a possible difference: COVID-19 might be spread through the airborne route, meaning that tiny droplets remaining in the air could cause disease in others even after the ill person is no longer near.

COVID-19: Antiviral medications are currently being tested to see if they can address symptoms.

Flu: Antiviral medications can address symptoms and sometimes shorten the duration of the illness.

COVID-19: Approximately 102,472 cases worldwide; 340 cases in the U.S. as of Mar. 7, 2020.

Flu: Estimated 1 billion cases worldwide; 9.3 million to 45 million cases in the U.S. per year.

17 I think? The numbers will likely top out soon since we’re at the tail end of flu season.

As it stands, the most probable ‘worst outcome’ to this is we’ll have to add another seasonal respiratory virus to the common flu viruses that threatens part of the population every year. The rest of us will muddle through it and/or get vaccinated.

Or it can be ‘one and done’. SARS was a COVID and it went away. Remains to be seen.

H1N1 didn't taper off, it started in April 2009 and didn't decline steeply until May 2010.
 
You don't know why it was "hype" when a pandemic raged through America while your Messiah infested the Oval Office, but it's "valid" now that a Republican is POTUS, Brad?

What’s “valid”?
 
Hey, Brad.

I have heard that COVID-19 is not really any worse than a regular flu.... In fact some reputable sources have told me it's not as bad as a regular flu.
Why the hype? What is it about COVID-19 that sets it apart from other flus?

Hype? Don’t know what you are referring to.

Your reputable sources are wrong This virus is more deadly than flu. It is more contagious and more deadly than flu, but no need for panic, just intelligent response.

I have been saying for a while now the DOW’s response is just a trigger to a drop that was already on its way for other reasons.
 
I don't believe you, Brad.


Why was a pandemic during the Obama Reign of Error "hype", according to you, and the present COVID-19 outbreak hysteria is supposedly "valid"?

Hysteria is never a valid
 
H1N1 didn't taper off, it started in April 2009 and didn't decline steeply until May 2010.

And it reoccurred in 2015.

The 2015-2016 flu season started a little later than the previous three flu seasons. The season also peaked later. While H3N2 viruses predominated early in the season, H1N1 viruses were the most common later in the season and were the predominant virus for the entire season. This is the virus that emerged in 2009 to cause a pandemic and that caused severe illness in some children & young-and middle-aged adults.

Did DEMOCRATS shriek hysterically about that?
 
The first thing to do is to collect data. Trump is declaring numbers that have no validity. He should not do that. He also claimed they have all the test kits we need. That is also not true. He claimed, we might have them by a week or so. That is the second week or so in a row. He also said the kit is "beautiful'. Who talks like that?
 
And it reoccurred in 2015.

AFAIK Democrats didn't make any predictions about it and neither did the Democratic president. Then again the 2009 president wasn't all over the news lying, blaming and screeching about it, either. :rofl2:
 
Gun violence will get about half the population in the next two years, coronavirus another 10 or so in the next couple of weeks, and then climate change will finish off the rest in 12 yrs.(according to dims). All because of Trump.

So you admit that no DEMOCRATS took to the media on a daily basis to accuse Obama of unpreparedness, even though it's a fact that he waited for months before declaring an emergency - during which time over 1,000 Americans died while he played golf and the Wookie remodeled the dining room and planted a vegetable garden?
