Today there is just about 3.4 million confirmed covid-19 cases so that's the base line. The Governments data from the CDC predicts there was 43.3-89.3 million (60.9 million average) cases of H1N1. of course there was no mass testing being done at that time so this is estimates of many studies done after the fact. The two virus are very different first covid is much deadly and it's also about twice as infectious as H1N1. People like to attack trump for allowing 3.4m people to get Covid-19 and how that number is high but Obama in 2009 allowed 60 million Americans to get H1N1 and if it was as infectious as covid is that number could had been 120 million americans. So if obama was our president during covid based on how he handles H1N1 we could have 120 million cases and 5 million deaths in amercia.

The virus is an obvious excuse to exercise tyrannical control
My complaint with this (not your fault) is the numbers are all extremely questionable. e.g. the 100K Covid deaths. Really? Why is it then that the total number of deaths in 20202 is less than in 2019 and 2018? CDC says 12K deaths from N1H1 ... really? How would they know without all the testing that has been down.
50% of the deaths, according to the latest study of Covid could have been prevented with HCQ but the FDA, Fauci, and others refused to allow it to be used. So that knocks the deaths down by 50% which is now down at 62K instead of 125K. Add on top of that the Cuomo factor of putting cases into nursing homes (which is emphasized by the fact that NY and NYC have the highest death rates) and now we are really starting to get down around the alleged deaths of N1H1 -- which (to repeat) do not have honest and proper testing to make them valid and credible.
