The 40's to 50's polio epidemics may be more familiar to the current situation than the "Spanish Flu" outbreak with Theaters, Parks, Swimming Pools, and basically any summertime outdoor activity prohibited for months. It was a very scary time for many people and it hit a lot of communities, not just with death, but with permanent disabilities that disproportionately impacted children.From a hospital and medical care standpoint, the 2009 "Bird Flu" pandemic saw From April 12, 2009 to April 10, 2010, CDC numbers indicate there were 60.8 million cases (range: 43.3-89.3 million), 274,304 hospitalizations (range: 195,086-402,719), and 12,469 deaths (range: 8868-18,306) in the United States due to the (H1N1)pdm09 virus.But when looking at personal liberty and global economics, this current pandemic will likely not be eclipsed in damage done for many decades.
