Remember the H1N1 Pandemic in 2009? I Don’t Either? The WHO declared swine flu a pandemic in June 2009. Obama didn’t declare it a national emergency for four months, until October 2009. Swine flu caused 60.8 million illnesses, 273,304 hospitalizations, and 12,469 deaths in the US.

I definitely think that's one aspect.

But i think it's more about control. People are giving up more freedoms now than they did for 9/11 as we speak. Meanwhile even in Italy, where the country is on lockdown and it's supposedly this mass casualty event, the amount of individuals who've died is tiny.

Even Trump is on on this. But don't worry, the Chancellor will return power once this event is over...

yeah but obama didn't dismantle the cdc, declare h1n1 a gop hoax, and pretty much do everything imaginable to ensure it spread like wildfire.

also, i donno where you get your numbers (out of your ass maybe?) but 60 something million us infections would be about 1/6 the population. that didn't happen.

(not OP but....) I had to follow 3-4 links from the article, the numbers are from the CDC: https://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/estimates_2009_h1n1.htm

Nobody used it as an excuse to bash Obama, like they're doing now with Trump.

People are wishing they can get infected so they can go to Trump rallies and spread the disease as much as possible. That's the sick world we live in now, created by years of dehumanizing other Americans. Putin is cheering the whole way. He couldn't have divided us more.

Swine flu was another hoax.
