How come we didn’t have to wear masks for the A1H1 Swine flu back in 2009? 🍿

My current n95 masks are actually from the h1n1 pandemic. I got a few boxes of 3M 8612F masks which were FDA cleared for use during pandemics ("to help reduce wearer exposure to pathogenic airborne particulates during public health medical emergencies").

We were fortunate that we had:
1. An existing drug treatment. H1N1 was found to be susceptible to oseltamivir (tamiflu).
2. Existing production lines and methods which were already geared to influenza vaccine production. There was a monovalent H1N1pdm09 vaccine produced.
3. Lower R0 and lower case fatality rate. H1N1pdm09 was a mix of different strains of influenza but did not pick up the most virulent/deadly mutations known.

Lower CFR is the real kicker here

Because A1H1 didn’t exist 🤷🏾‍♂️

The transmission rate (R0) for swine flu was not nearly as high as SARS-CoV-2. This pandemic is more similar in transmission rate to the 1918 Spanish Flu, and there was a huge push to wear masks back then (and an Anti-Mask League resisting it).

Well this post is moot. The CDC is about to take the “pandemic” label off this disease due to the plummeting number of deaths involving the virus.

Probably the same reason there weren’t vaccines in the 1600s. You probably had an uncle the smoked 3 packs per day for 60 years and never got cancer so smoking must not cause cancer either.

Hot take, for those who received a stimulus based on FY19 or FY18 returns why doesn’t the government make people pay it back in the FY20 return if they don’t qualify based on the actual tax year stimulus was for? I understand why they couldn’t wait but IrS knows who received it so it isn’t hard to implement. Could have used the anticipated saving coming back to fund more stimulus for those who truly needed it.

Have any of you told your family how much money you make? My family has never asked but I feel like my partner’s family is always trying to figure it out and it makes me uncomfortable. They assume that I make a lot because I’m an attorney. I often get comments like “well you can afford it because you’re a lawyer.” I do well for myself but I am far from rich. I am so grateful to have a job but I’d rather not disclose my salary to anyone other than the IRS.
