Yes, the 2009-2010 H1N1 Flu killed 200,000+ worldwide and 62 to 85% of the deaths were people younger than age 65.
Link to further statistics if you want more details: https://www.livescience.com/41539-20...ll-higher.html And yet there were no mass school/college closures, no mass cancellations of large scale events, no mass cancellations of sporting events during the H1N1 Flu Pandemic. What is different about COVID-19 compared to the 2009-2019 H1N1 Flu that justifies this more extreme (over) reaction? |

Reading this thread looks like no one is afraid of ending up intubated for 2-3 weeks.
I am not afraid of dying of this disease, because mortality rate - however higher than flu is still low - expecially in my age range. However I'd rather avoid ending up hospitalized and intubated if I can...must not be any fun. I posted some figures regarding percentage of people requiring intensive care and intubation in Italy, they are alarming, and they went totally overlooked because the main topic here is mortality rate, mortality rate, mortality rate, WHICH IS NOT THE REAL PROBLEM. |

People buying masks because they are scared? I wouldn't exactly refer to that as panicking, or reeruned. |

The higher current mortality rates. You cannot compare the early death total of a novel virus first spreading across a country to the total deaths of a virus. But sure, you figured it out and the infectious disease specialist and epidemiologists are just trying to overreact and cause panic. |

Is your opinion based on the testing that we are currently not doing? Because we aren't testing nearly enough people. Overall, this has been an unimaginable incompetent response to a health crisis.
