Swine flu (H1N1) originated in Mexico. It killed 12,469 people in the USA in a time frame of about 19 months. Covid-19 has killed 165,118 people in the USA in approximately 6 months. The USA has about 4% of the world's population and has 25% of the world's cases of Covid-19 and 25% of the world's deaths by Covid-19. The positivity rate in our county is 20%, meaning that one, out every five people you pass by, is infected with Covid-19 and can possibly infect you, whether they are symptomatic or not. But, I guess we still have a lot of numb-nut trump-suckers that want to pretend this is no big deal.
