Avian and swine were just mutations of “regular” influenza.

Bad bird flu is H5N1 and swine was H1N1 if memory serves me right.

I believe you are correct on the H names.

You're behind the times, Vietnam has too many middle class people now. They're going to Cambodia.

What's a 'middle class'?

Let me rephrase. Those who attempt to use flu to minimize this are dumb.

It does help to put it into perspective. 19,000,000+ Americans have been infected with influenza this season. This could reach 65M. 10,000-25,000 people have died from the flu in the US so far this season. We’ve had like 15 cases of this strain of Coronavirus. The flu is a much bigger threat to most of us because even though it is less deadly, we’re far more likely to become infected.

Flu and nCov19 are both respiratory illnesses with similar symptoms. nCov19 appears to have a higher fatality rate, but it will probably drop as more mild cases are reported (these are the ones that tend to go underreported). A person infected with nCov19 does appear to spread it to more people (2.2 average vs <2 for influenza).

Here is some more perspective https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/coronavirus-china-virus-wuhan-symptoms-deaths-sars-a9295396.html

I understand the concept, but there is no more middle class in this country.

I’ve got a meeting this week with a bunch of infectious disease specialists from the university along with some epis. Curious what they say and if we’ll be doing our trip to Asia in six weeks

Then what am I? I’m not rich, but I’m not living paycheck to paycheck and I have disposable income.

Fortunate.

44% of American workers earn less than $18,000

The existence of low-wage work is hardly a surprise, but most people—except, perhaps, low-wage workers themselves—underestimate how prevalent it is. Many also misunderstand who these workers are. They are not only students, people at the beginning of their careers, or people who need extra spending money. A majority are adults in their prime working years, and low-wage work is the primary way they support themselves and their families.

Take 33 through 66 on this chart for middle class American wealth:

Re: nCoV 2019-2020 Outbreak

The way I'm seeing that, is that it takes money to make more money, and of course that is proportionate to the money one has to begin with.

If I have a million bucks, of course I should be able to parlay that into much more money than someone who has $100K, in general/relatively/etc. Even going by percentages in those different totals in that graph, the amount of money/growth will compound.

As I said, there is no longer a middle class. Justify it however you want.
