Does anyone know why the governments of the world have had a different reaction to coronavirus than swine flu? According to Google swine flu infected 60 odd million people and a fair few deaths too. I remember having it, I was 22 years old at the time and it was harsh on me a young healthy person. Why did flights not stop then, why did businesses not close? There wasn't even really talk or rumour of those things happening that I remember, and I know social media was only in its infancy then but I did have a Facebook at the time and online news so it can't be the internet spreading the fear?
