Omicron Variant: What You Need to Know
Omicron COVID Variant Possibly 500 Percent More Infectious Than Delta
CDC warns that delta variant is as contagious as chickenpox and may make people sicker than original Covid
“KEY POINTS
- The CDC warned the delta variant sweeping across the country is as contagious as chickenpox, has a longer transmission window than the original Covid-19 strain and may make older people sicker.
- A confidential CDC document said delta is more transmissible than the common cold, the 1918 Spanish flu, smallpox, Ebola, MERS and SARS.
- Health officials said federal and state leaders should communicate to the public the benefits of getting vaccinated.”

2019-2020 U.S. Flu Season: Preliminary Burden Estimates
If we take the high numbers,
Flu had a 0.11% Mortality Rate
With COVID’s 1.76% – If 56 million people catch the Coronavirus we are looking at 986,155 deaths
Flu Season was 187 Days, so going with 62,000 deaths that is 332 deaths per day.
The First Coronavirus Death is 556 days on July 30, 2021, with 612,168 deaths, or 1,101 deaths per day.

FACT CHECK: Trump’s Accusations About The Obama Administration And Swine Flu
“Trump falsely charged the Obama administration’s response to the H1N1 swine flu outbreak as a “full scale disaster, with thousands dying, and nothing meaningful done to fix the testing problem, until now.””
No, President Trump, the Coronavirus Is Nothing Like H1N1 Swine Flu Either
“The president has been comparing his administration’s handling of COVID-19 to the way President Barack Obama’s team dealt with the H1N1 outbreak. He is wrong.”
The Obama administration “didn’t do anything about” swine flu.
2009 H1N1 Pandemic (H1N1pdm09 virus)
“From April 12, 2009 to April 10, 2010, CDC estimated there were 60.8 million cases (range: 43.3-89.3 million), 274,304 hospitalizations (range: 195,086-402,719), and 12,469 deaths (range: 8868-18,306) in the United States due to the (H1N1)pdm09 virus.”
Swine Flu lasted 363 days – 34 deaths a day with a 0.02% mortality rate
Coronavirus? 557 days on July 30, 2021 – 1,101 deaths a day so far with 1.76% mortality rate
IF 60.8 million get the Coronavirus we are looking at 1,070,683 deaths!

An Alabama Doctor’s 78-Patient Weekend of COVID Hell
“The death of a patient at the hands of the novel coronavirus is a tragedy for any doctor. But it was especially jarring in an otherwise healthy man in his fifties who contracted the infection at a recently reopened restaurant in Montgomery, Alabama—a place he likely felt safer venturing after testing positive for antibodies, local pulmonologist and critical care doctor David Thrasher recalled in an interview.
The man first got sick with COVID-19 while traveling in Europe six months earlier, before it hit North America with a vengeance, Thrasher explained. Federal law prohibited him from providing details about the case, but he said the disturbing death confirmed for him and his colleagues in Alabama, where infections have surged in recent weeks, what they’d already feared: No one is safe.
“There’s some limited immunity, but we don’t know how long it lasts,” Thrasher told The Daily Beast. “Don’t get fat and happy thinking you can’t get it.””
