Swine flu spread easily yet killed far fewer
Social media posts claim the 2009 H1N1 swine flu caused far more cases and deaths than COVID-19, but CDC estimates show about 60 million U.S. infections with roughly 12,500 deaths worldwide, a 0.02% fatality rate, while the virus mainly affected younger people and school closures were brief. Fauci notes the swine flu spread easily but was less deadly than some pandemics.

Context rules out simple swine flu vs covid comparison
The post argues that COVID-19 caused far more deaths than the 2009 H1N1 swine flu and that fatality rates differ notably. It notes 166,000 U.S. deaths and 750,000+ worldwide for COVID-19, compares infection fatality rates, and warns that raw infection counts lack context for policy judgments.
Americans turn to alcohol as pandemic coping with limited relief
A Nielsen report shows at home alcohol sales jumped nearly 27 percent since the pandemic began. Health experts warn increases may signal coping via drinking, risk of liver disease and cancer, and urge safer strategies, telehealth, sleep, nutrition, and social support.
