If SARS-CoV-2 were to run through the U.S. population, you'd be looking at maybe 5 million dead. It's a completely different level of threat.

yeah for sure, obviously doing nothing is not the correct reaction (those were very different times) but it’s just interesting because it means how we’re responding is completely unprecedented

And if the expected "Let it Ride" scenario was 70,000 instead of 2.2 Million... well, we did that recently with H1N1. Sucked to be an ICU doctor, but 5 digits of casualties, and basically no economic hit.

"Does a society that relies more on politics than faith now find itself in an uncomfortable bind, unable to lecture, browbeat, intimidate, or evade the incorrect behavior of a dangerous microbe?" What is "faith" in this context?

i wonder how (if?) it was discussed in media back then? it sounds like at the time people considered contracting these kinds of diseases an inevitability, so maybe from a tv / news perspective it wasn't treated as anything of note

We have quite different means today. A lot of people are able to work from home using internet. We (some of us) have also have better social security. And freezers, so you are easily able to stock up on food. And delivery services... I think it's more doable now than in 1957.

So my understanding is that one of the reasons for shutdown for COVID over, say, Ebola, was often you can't tell if someone has Corona or or not and how quickly it spreads. We didn't shut down for H1N1, except for a school in my hometown that did, when a case was confirmed.

Am curious about our responses to other pandemics throughout history, at what point different responses are correct, at what points we didn't do enough, like that time we shrugged our shoulders and blamed the Spanish.
