    Sure. No difference in demographics of previous antibodies right? Also, if they did a 'pretty good job' then how could anyone ever catch it? Silly people think government can stop a virus.

    If I do a pretty good job of keeping flood water out of my house that does not mean I kept ever drop out. You need to quit moving the goal post, that is rather dishonest.

    Bottom line, the actions of the SK government in preparing the nation for waht was coming helped to ease the damage that was done

    At least I don't think everyone in every country is exactly the same but hey, why bother with facts when you can find a little country that didn't get hit as hard to support the Trump hate.

    Between 1960 and 2018 flu deaths in the US went down by 72%. That is nothing to sneeze at

    Neither do I, but thanks for the strawman, it goes well with the moving goal post.

    Did I bring up Trump? Nope, just one more strawman from you. Now you have one on both sides of the moving goal post. You are very talented.

    As expected, Cheney was removed from her position. The conversion of the GOP into the Trump party is now almost complete. No dissent from 110% loyalty to Trump is tolerated. This is great stuff, the Trump party working at its own destruction to serve at the altar of Trump's vanity.

    Can anyone come up with an example from American history where a single person wielded as much power over a party as Trump does?

    Joe McCarthy?? In a limited fashion... nobody on his side was willing or able to contradict his BS either...

    After that, I'm stumped... and all for a loser as far away from real power as possible...

    Solid entertainment...

    No, but I could probably come up with someone from German history who weilded that much power.

    He was enabled by brownshirts.

    It's strange, isn't it? They claim to be patriots for "America first", but in reality, they are "Trump first". How can a conman convince so many people that their lives would be miserable without him? Especially when those same people claim to be individualists?

    FYI, I suggest you take a look at the influenza numbers and juxtapose them from past years.

    Well this latest move to continue the false narrative of a stolen election is going to move more independents away from Trump. We saw that in 2020 and then the runoff elections in GA.

    In fairness... The government inexplicably cured H1N1 in 2020. Nearly zero cases in 2020 when we had a pandemic of it in 2017-2018.

    Nothing to see here... Move along.

    The H1N1 pandemic was in 2009, not 2017.

    The H1N1 flu, commonly known as swine flu, is primarily caused by the H1N1 strain of the flu (influenza) virus. H1N1 is a type of influenza A virus, and H1N1 is one of several flu virus strains that can cause the seasonal flu. Symptoms of the H1N1 flu are the same as those of the seasonal flu.


    In the spring of 2009, scientists recognized a particular strain of flu virus known as H1N1. This virus is a combination of viruses from pigs, birds and humans that causes disease in humans. During the 2009-10 flu season, H1N1 caused the respiratory infection in humans that was commonly referred to as swine flu. Because so many people around the world got sick, in 2009 the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the H1N1 flu to be a pandemic. In August 2010, WHO declared the pandemic over. After the pandemic was over, the H1N1 flu virus became one of the strains that cause seasonal flu.

    The flu vaccine can now help protect against the H1N1 flu (swine flu). The H1N1 flu virus strain is included in the seasonal flu vaccine, including the vaccine for 2020-21.

    https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases...t=H1N1 is a type of,those of the seasonal flu.

    Politics is a slimy profession and it doesn't matter if you are the Republicans or the Democrats. These people are power mongering narcissists. They all want to rule the people instead of leading the country. Huge difference in those two philosophies. So many people miss the distinction. We don't serve the government. The government serves at our pleasure.

    Yet, there were only 12,469 recorded deaths in 2009 from H1N1 while the 2017-2018 flu season estimated that there was over 80,000 deaths. Strange, I know.

    National Press Conference Kicks Off 2018-2019 Flu Vaccination Campaign

    On September 27, 2018, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases (NFID) along with other public health and medical groups kicked off the 2018-2019 flu vaccine campaign at a press conferenceexternal icon held at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. CDC early estimates indicate that more than 900,000 people were hospitalized and more than 80,000 people died from flu last season[1]. These new estimates are record-breaking, and emphasize the seriousness and severity of flu illness and serve as a strong reminder of the importance of flu vaccination.

    The Flu and H1N1 are two separate things.
