As of mid-March 2010, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated that about 59 million Americans contracted the H1N1 virus, 265,000 were hospitalized as a result, and 12,000 died.

It is interesting how the media does not talk about this in the context that we are not even near the H1N1 levels of infection and certainly not deaths in the US and perhaps we ratchet the hysteria back just a little bit on the Corona virus.

Catch 22 - out of an abundance of caution. I think the Left has discovered a way to take away the People’s Liberty while using the media to coerce People to do so.

The media seems to be a willing participant in whipping people into a froth, over reporting worst case scenarios over and over again. You can watch an hour of news or read stories and hear everything from this is a flu like bug that will make most sick for a few days/week and you will be fine. It is more lethal (like most viruses) on the elderly and the ill. You can then hear the prediction of millions dead and dying within weeks causing runs on everything from toilet paper to soap to food.

Someone just spoke to me about how when there are intense campaign years, some deadly biological pandemic happens. So here we are 11 tears later.
