Well the media's current agenda is to sabotage Trump's chances by blowing the virus out of proportion, so you can very much expect coverage of it to practically disappear after the election (regardless of who wins). So technically you're right.

Yep, nearly 200k people have died just so Trump won't be elected.

Why is that relevant? Try to stay on topic.

 

But back to the thread, funny how they have such a detailed study involving a single motorcycle rally but haven't done anything for the hundreds of protests and riots that took place across the entire country. Because Im definitely sure that nobody got Covid from going to those

it's far easier to contact trace an event like Sturgis given all of the factors. Not to mention they were pretty much who cares about mask to boot. NYC's having rallies nearly daily at this point and no spikes in cases. 

[jehurey 3,230]

Are they still trying to bring up NYC rallies, even though we have like..............12 weeks of virus infection data to show that NYC CLEARLY did a good-enough job to not cause a spike?

 

And one of the things that we clearly saw from the NYC rallies was that they wore alot of masks, the vast majority.

 

Why can't these people put 2 and 2 together, here?

Just trying to gage if you've devolved into a covid denier. It's a pretty simple question that I asked.

So would me thinking Covid isn't the end of the world make me a denier? 60 million people in the U.S. got swine flu but it wasn't covered by the news 24/7 like Covid is.

Yes it was. Its just that today we have many more outlets and round the clock news.

Media's 2009 Response

In April 2009, reporters' response to the news of two children having flu-like symptoms and recovering was muted, Nowak said. At the time, the CDC said it didn't know how prevalent H1N1 was.

 

Still, those stories prompted Canada to call the CDC, Nowak said.

 

Canada was testing samples from Mexico — which was having a terrible flu season — and found evidence of H1N1, the same virus that infected the children in California. 

 

Another press conference was held, and the CDC made a commitment at that time to continue doing press conferences and communicating with the public as often as possible. 

 

Nowak said throughout these press conferences, the CDC was intentional about repeating that, as they uncovered more information, recommendations and actions would change frequently as new information became available.

"It made a difference," he said.

 

Every day for about eight weeks, the CDC held a press conference to update the public on its response to H1N1, until there stopped being new news to report, Nowak said.

 

Media outlets covered H1N1 relentlessly, but Nowak said that coverage doesn't compare to the news bombardment consumers get from a wider variety of news organizations and from social media.

 

How The Media's Response To H1N1 Compares To COVID-19

There are several differences in the media's response to H1N1 and COVID-19, Nowak explained.

 

For one, media coverage is more frequent when actions by the government or other oversight agencies are new and sweeping, as has been the case with evolving stay-at-home orders in the COVID-19 era. Disconnects between health measures, the economy, political parties, state and federal orders, demands for more testing amid a limited supply, all result in more stories.

 

"This is a completely new experience, having to deal with a pandemic caused by a coronavirus," Nowak said. "(The CDC) always planned for pandemics that would be caused by flu viruses."

 

What's compounding coverage now is the reality that there are many more news outlets than there were in 2009, and more platforms such as Twitter and Instagram on which to spread that information. In 2009, Fox News wasn't as large, and outlets such as Stat and Vox didn't exist yet, Nowak said.

 

And as for social media, the CDC didn't even have a Twitter account in 2009. That didn't happen until May 2010.

But in 2009, there also was a sense of certainty about the future. H1N1 hit the scene as flu season was coming to a close and a vaccine was developed in enough time to get it into the next flu season's immunization shots.

 

There's less certainty with COVID-19, which spreads much easier and can be transmitted by people who are asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic, Nowak said. 

 

 

Dude, in September and October of 2014, Ebola virus had so much coverage, so much talking from Republicans..........that it actually helped them scaremonger Americans and helped Republicans win seats in the November 2014 mid-term elections.

 

And its quite simple. The experts are telling us that this virus is not like the Swine Flu, and leaves us more vulnerable.

 

That's why its getting the most coverage, because it is legitimately more dangerous than the Swine flu.

The virus shutdown the entire world. This is the first time that this happened in our lifetimes. SARS was something that I remember hearing about on TV, and some cases here, but after a while it was like "what happened to SARS?".

 

Coronavirus was something Heard about on the news, seemed curious and I'm thinking "damn that sucks for china". 3 weeks later everything is surreal and toilet paper is on high demand. 6 months later and pre-covid life feels like a hazy dream.

Why not post how many people died though? 

 

From April 12, 2009 to April 10, 2010, CDC estimated there were 60.8 million cases, 274,304 hospitalizations and 12,469 deaths in the United States. 

 

So in an ENTIRE YEAR, there were 274K hospitalizations and ONLY 12K deaths. 

 

 

Now let's look at COVID-19. 

 

Covid-19 is already at 190K deaths in the United States in only 6 to 7months (Feb/March through September).. 

 

 

12K deaths in one year for H1N1

 

Vs

 

190K deaths in 6 to 7 months. 

 

 

6 months for H1N1 would average out to 6K deaths. 

 

6 Months of COVID-19 deaths are at 190K.

 

 

6K deaths vs 190K deaths.
