I never got a vaccine for either. How did those stop spreading without one?

H1N1 was one of the flu strains this year, it didn’t go away

Why was it considered a pressing problem at one point?

I think the difference is they are not novel anymore. Meaning people have been exposed in the past which leads to a slower spread, less severe symptoms, stuff like that. So it isn't a threat to overload any hospitals.

It’s all bs. Whatever happened to the plague? Anyone get their plague vaccine this year? There’s no new viruses.

Because they didn't have a vaccine for it at the time. Similar to COVID-19. Eventually this too will be part of our normal flu strain during the fall that we get vaccines for.

They're in some chinese lab just waiting on ping-pong to sell it to a wet market and have it released to the world again.

SARS was effectively contained and it just faded away. SARS acted completely different than Covid-19. People got sicker faster, there were nowhere near as many asymptomatic carriers, and it was easier to contact trace whice made it easier to isolate. It died off in isolation due to lack of new hosts.
H1N1 is still around.

It probably mutated to a non life threatening strain.
Virus strains don't want to kill their hosts.

I don't think SARS-1 had the RO that this one does and was contained. I could be wrong and don't feel like wikipediaing it.

Thanks for the succinct answer.

You sound like you might know what you're talking about. What do you think will happen with this one.

SARS never spread enough to make developing a vaccine financially viable. People were working on them but couldn't get funding for trials.

Flu shots given these days contain a version of a H1N1 vaccine. It's only partially effective for some people.

Bubonic plague was caused by a bacterium called Yersinia pestis. We have antibiotics now that can kill the bug which is why no one in developed countries gets this disease anymore.

Older people had some immunity to H1N1, it hit the young and healthy which made it less of a threat.
