For what it's worth, the US CDC has said this about (H1N1)pdm09. I'm not sure if H1N1 is a coronavirus though and I don't know if there's any published research supporting this. But the author's statement seems reasonable enough given it was qualified with "probably".
> From April 12, 2009 to April 10, 2010, CDC estimated 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.

- mikeyouse 7y agoNope - MERS and SARS were the only large Coronavirus outbreaks. H1N1 is an Influenza A strain (similar to the so-called Spanish Flu).
- anticensor 7y agoSpanish flu and swine flu, you mean. H1N1 is the agent responsible for both.
- jeltz 7y agoThat is untrue. There are coronavirus outbreaks all the time. What makes MERS and SARS special is that they are the only known human coronviruses with high mortality.
