The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that swine flu infected nearly 61 million people in the United States hospitalized 20,000 and caused 12,469 deaths. Worldwide, up to 575,400 people died from pandemic swine flu
The left did not close schools, businesses and shut down the country. They did not take over hospitals as Omar is suggesting and the right did not fight Obama and health officials at every turn and spread lies to induce panic and cause economic ruin. And it was the younger population that was being most affected. The media downplayed it and late night comedians made fun of it and called it a "flop".
