It's somewhat disingenuous comparison to compare the impact of C19 after it has been in the states for only a couple of weeks to H1N1, which obviously was around for much longer.

I also wonder about the comparative difficulty between successfully diagnosing cases of C19 compared to C19.

Anecdotaly I remember panic surrounding SARS, swine flu and bird flu. It has always confused me, deadly respiratory diseases doing the rounds occasionally just seems like a fact of life. Gotta practice good hygiene, minimise excessive physical contact and keep the larder stocked routinely.
