None of them effected or shut down society like COVID-19 is doing. Is it really that much worse? Serious question.

Because they had competent Presidents who knew how to react properly in pandemic situations.

GWB and Obama knew how to handle this. The manchild in chief is worried about his golf course.

Either the deathrate of the infected was much lower (such as with the flu) OR it could not spread as easily (such as with Ebola).

I believe COVID-19 is significantly more contagious

Welp, I'll let the CDC and WHO know they can lift the pandemic declaration.

I'm asking why it's considered such a pandemic, especially compared to those other diseases.
No reason to be an ass.

The entire globe shut down because of Trump and Facebook?

Or do you think the more likely answer is you don't know what you are talking about?

Like how Obama bailed out the banks then let massive amount of people get kick out of their homes. So the banks could sell those homes again. Brilliant.

That has nothing to do with a viral outbreak.

Obama didn't call Ebola "no big deal and a Republican hoax" like Trump did COVID-19

None could spread anywhere near as fast as Corona, the only one that came even remotely close was Swine Flu but that was only slightly more lethal that the common Flu, Corona is current running at around a 11% case fatality rate.

Thanks to Obamas administration we were able to significantly lower the houses payment for 5 years and stay there. Although what you say is also true. Banks simply own politicians.

It was a measure of how he would respond in a emergency. He failed hard. Trump said some stupid shit, but his actions are better than bs Obama did during crisis. Now if Pelosi and Chuck would get out of the democrats and republicans way. We might get a good bill for the people in need passed

And the President said it was a fake disease up until the NBA finally shut down.

Incredible leadership from Trump

dont know about the others but zika was transmitted by mosquitoes

i dont think ebola is as contagious not sure about this one but i think it cant be transmited by touching a glass someone sneezed on an hour earlier

h1n1 started showing symptoms after a short time making way easier to keep in check compared to corona which can take up to 14 days

SARS-1 was contained because you had symptoms shortly after infection. People are highly contagious with COVID-19 like 2 weeks before they know they're sick.

Covid is dangerous because it's a sneaky fucker, you can be contagious more than a week before symptoms show up.

H1N1 was a lot more like the flu, Covid spreads way more easily and is more dangerous. People definitely overreacted to H1N1.

Ebola really only does well in countries with poor medical infrastructure and cleanliness. IIRC it didn't spread at all in developed countries.

Zika wasn't deadly, and was only a danger to pregnant women's unborn children, also wasn't it only transmitted by mosquitoes? Anything mosquitoes transmit only lasts as long as the warm weather does. Plus any virus that can be prevented by some bug spray and thicker clothing isn't ever gonna become a real problem.

SARS was pretty serious. I feel like some of you are hella young. The reason hand sanitizer dispensers are everywhere is SARS and Toronto airport was essentially shut down.

Swine Flu was a joke though, I had it and I only missed 4 days of school.
