minus-square@roastpotatothieflink1•2 years agoI can’t find anything concrete right now but here is the wiki. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_swine_flu_pandemic Just beware of people cherrypicking data, either only comparing against 2018 and 2017 which were not particularly bad years, or else going the other way and only comparing against 1918. It’s just a common trick to be aware of.
