H1n1. Why I thought that was SARS is beyond me.

Okay, so now you want to compare H1N1... well when H1N1 was on US soil for 2 months, there were 147 confirmed cases. In under 2 months since COVID-19 has been on US soil (first case on 1/19/2020), there are over 3000 cases confirmed. Not to mention the mortality rate for COVID-19 is significantly higher than H1N1. So it spreads much faster and is deadlier and there is no vaccine. Apples to apples, thus far 3000+ cases compared with 147 dude. And H1N1 killed over 12,000 (300,000+ hospitalized) Americans over 2 years. You think maybe if we had put in place more extreme measures then, we wouldn't have had 12,000+ people die? I'm sorry man, but all of your assumptions about what you think you know about this situation is wrong. If we stay on the current exponential curve, then we will have millions of Americans hospitalized, overwhelming the healthcare system with hundreds of thousands dying. That's not hyping, that's reality if nothing changes.
