COVID-19 numbers today at roughly 5 million. In 2009, H1N1 infected 60 million. Both contagious respiratory illnesses. Schools not ordered shut in 2009, but are today.
Can anyone spot the difference between then and now? You’re a smart class, I’m sure you’ll come up with the right answer.
(You may factor in that Covid-19 and H1N1 are caused by different viruses and present different clinical features, but from a public health standpoint they may be viewed as same.)
