Remember the swine flu mania?
The swine flu was a serious enough outbreak for President Barack
Obama to declare a public health emergency in late April 2009. The
WHO declared it a pandemic in early July – at which time 18,000
Americans had contracted novel flu virus and 44 had died. And unlike
coronavirus, the swine flu was more deadly to younger people. Obama
declared a national emergency when the virus reemerged with a
vengeance in the fall.
Yet the press barely covered any of these events.
When the WHO declared the swine flu “unstoppable” on June 11, 2009,
CNN didn’t even lead with that story on its homepage. It was in a
pile of links on the side of the page.
A week later, there was /no mention of the swine flu anywhere on
CNN’s home page/.

This I totally agree with. As others have said the warnings about a massive
viral infection have been there, pretty much constantly, my whole life. They
were going to be right sometime...

I'm far more worried about the part of the "press" that turns science into conspiracy theories. Every major societal issue is not a conspiracy to remove Trump from office -- and you should be VERY careful of what you choose to believe from anyone who finds a secret conspiracy in every single news event. Significant sign of metal illness as far as I'm concerned......
