H1N1 in Mexico [1], I was a Biology major during this time at a University in San Diego less than an hour away from the border. I recall this vividly and it still stands out in my mind just how corrupt Big Pharma is [2] and what control it wields, but Corona seems to be having a more political and economic destablizing effect than H1N! did, then again H1N1 was happening in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. Still, given the wide-spread nature of this I can't help but draw parallels. 1: https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=103502336 https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=103502... 2: https://web.archive.org/web/20150710024016/https://www.marketwatch.com/story/gilead-glaxo-roche-gain-swine https://web.archive.org/web/20150710024016/https://www.marke...
