Today’s Corona VIrus and the Swine Flu in 2009 to 2010.

The coronavirus has upended countless lives here at home and around the world. We’ve all become too familiar with new terms — shelter in place, flatten the curve, social distancing. The stock market is bouncing wildly. Just this week we saw the greatest number of unemployment applications in our nation’s history. And there’s still no toilet paper at the grocery store, if you can even go to the grocery store. So are you feeling stressed yet? Anxious? At your wits’ end because you’re trying to telework and the kids are making noise in the next room? And will someone please walk the dog?

Many people are reckoning with individual losses, including illness and death due to the novel coronavirus, or loss of employment as a result of economic upheaval. But even people who haven’t lost anything so concrete as a job or a loved one are affected.  Its makes you think is the depression going to happen again since hitory rpeats itself.  Look at Pandemics, are last one was in 2009-2010  when the President Obama was in office and we had more deaths than but it wasn’t majority in NYC.  The Corona 19 will probably over ride in deaths but we are far from the end.  Keep in mind H1N1 after the peak of illness during the second wave had come and gone in the United States. From April 12, 2009 to April 10, 2010, CDC estimated there were 60.8 million cases (range: 43.3-89.3 million), 274,304 hospitalizations (range: 195,086-402,719), and 12,469 deaths (range: 8868-18,306) in the United States due to the (H1N1)pdm09 virus.

 

Things should get better based on history and hopefully close in the future we will all get on a more normal working schedule again.  We will get through this and maybe our country and cities might consider stricter regulations with traveling in and out of America, better control of city populations in the U.S., and cleaner cities.    Since all these aspects play an impact on why Corona virus ended up in America and where the high amount of cases are located.
