CDC Estimates of 2009 H1N1 Influenza Cases, Hospitalizations and Deaths in the United States

During the pandemic, CDC provided estimates of the numbers of 2009 H1N1 cases, hospitalizations and deaths on seven different occasions. Final estimates were published in 2011. These final estimates were that from April 12, 2009 to April 10, 2010 approximately 60.8 million cases (range: 43.3-89.3 million), 274,304 hospitalizations (195,086-402,719), and 12,469 deaths (8868-18,306) occurred in the United States due to pH1N1. These final estimates are available at: Estimating the burden of 2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1) in the United States (April 2009-April 2010)External Web Site Icon, Shrestha SS, et al., Clin Infect Dis. 2011 Jan 1;52 Suppl 1:S75-82.
60,800,000 cases ÷ 365 days = 166,575 confirmed cases per. day

12,469 deaths ÷ 365 days = 34.16 per. day


Covid-19

30 days since first death contributed to the virus in the U.S.A.

46,168 cases ÷ 30 days = 139 confirmed cases per. day

582 deaths ÷ 30 days = 19.4 deaths per. day

It’s early though and Covid-19 is more deadly percentage wise.
