Outline H1N1 vs. SARS-COV-2

Part I 
COVID/SARS-COV-2 virus
Ending COVID
Regarding: H1N1

Prevention
Flu/influenza/H1N1
Flu virus changes annually/cycle
Prevention/ how to avoid getting the flu
Obtain a flu shot and wash hands
Flu vaccine is available for prevention

Case of Infection
What to do if infected with the H1N1 virus
If contract the flu, expect around 2 weeks or more of symptoms attacking the respiratory system 
(Refer to symptoms)
If within normal age range, can obtain OTC products to alleviate ailments
If severe symptoms persist, proceed to the hospital to receive treatment

Containment/Spread of the Flu/H1N1 virus
Containment for the flu virus is not possible at this time because the vast majority of the population has already been exposed

Basic health precautions to avoid the flu virus are washing hands and staying clean. 
Social distance policies and avoiding workplace and private environments are not appropriate for relevant healthcare measures. Utilizing cloth on face/hands for blockage of viral infection as mandatory seems severe.

It does not appear to be feasible for enforcement of health mandates to the general population regarding the virus.


Part II
COVID/SARS-COV-2
Ending COVID

Prevention
Vaccine works high %(+)
Infection (+) test results

Infection
Contraction of COVID
most likely mild/flu symptoms (age)
Severe case then hospitalized
Treatment works (for vast majority)

Containment
(not feasible)
Most Americans have already been 
exposed. Antibodies for immunity are
present throughout the population
Innate immunity
