2009.
The last disease the WHO declared a pandemic was a new flu strain, initially called “swine flu,” in 2009. That decision came after the new H1N1 flu had been spreading in multiple countries for about six weeks. Today, that strain is what’s known as “endemic” worldwide — it became part of every season’s regular flu outbreak.
H1N1; which was pretty much ignored by Obama for six months and resulted in 12,469 deaths in the US. Yet we are seeing mass hysteria from something that barely scratches the surface of infectious diseases.
Total cases: 1,215
Total deaths: 36
