    Obama went thru the H1N1 Swine flu from 2009 to 2010 and apparently never replenished any emergency preparedness supplies.

    Maybe you will but I won't.

    The Obama appointees to the Pandemic Committee quit and hadn't been replaced yet.

    In this post you commit the error that you complain about in your previous post.

    "Since when is Trump responsible for the virus? He isn't. I wonder of Trump haters will put aside thier hatred long enough to actually see what is happening"

    Do not you wonder if Obama haters - such as yourself - will put aside hatred long enough to see what is happening ?

    Or was it that you simply did not realize that claiming Obama is responsible for the current inability of our economy to withstand Corona - is just as wacked out as claiming Trump is Responsible for the Corona outbreak in the US.

    Or - perhaps you were just being sarcastic. Curious !?

    Maybe you missed my point there. Trump is no more culpable here than obama is.

    The WHO made that up in 2020. Go ask them. It doesn't change anything about the timeline.

    Nothing was kept under wraps. That's just political right wing nonsense. Donald didn't do crap to stop the spread inside the US. He now needs non white foreigners to blame.

    We're looking at 100,000 to 240,000 deaths in the US. We're just starting and corpses are already dumped with forklift trucks in 18 wheelers. Think about that.

    The just a flu downplay.

    No paradox. Donald did not do a thing against the spread of the virus ones it was in the US. Stopping coming planes doesn't stop the spread of the virus ones it's already there. Duh.

    Historic fact.

    https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/...l-pandemic-office-hinder-response/5064881002/

    Remains the prediction by the US.

    Trump is powerless? Fake news.

    I did. Without the close downs they predicted millions of deaths.
    Donald compared it to your random flu some weeks ago. Total idiot.

    Didn't have to happen .............

    The Trump administration decided to end a $200m early warning program designed to alert it

    to potential pandemics just three months before it is believed Covid-19 began infecting

    people in China.


    The project, called Predict, had been run by the US Agency for International Development

    since 2009. It had identified more than 160 different coronaviruses that had the potential to

    develop into pandemics, including a virus that is considered the closest known relative to

    Covid-19.


    A decision to wind down the program was made, however, in September, just three months

    before the first reports of people becoming infected with Covid-19 in Wuhan, China. The end

    of the program saw the departure of dozens of scientists and analysts working to identify

    potential pandemics in countries around the world, including China.


    “It was a genius, visionary program that USAid took a big risk to fund and it’s a crying shame it

    was canceled,” said Peter Daszak, president of EcoHealth Alliance, a non-profit specialist in

    tackling wildlife-borne disease that was one of the major partners in the program.

    Talk sensibly, please. The numbers are going to climb to 20% (at least) because Trump failed to lead in the early days.

    The Orangen Calf will be toppled for his idolatry.

    Now you are making things up. The early days? Trump was dealing with the Chinese virus since dec. the left ignored it and his warnings.

    shutting the economy down was what was needed to combat the Chinese virus and will be right back booming when it’s over due to his leadership

    Cite, struth, but you can't.

    He should have shut down the economy three weeks earlier but his businesses would have been even more grievously hurt.

    Nordics can make anything work. Not the same here.
    The worse poverty and social problems get due to demographic changes the more Socialism will appeal to the left. Open borders and welfare is really paving the way for eventual Socialism in America. Then it will become Venezuela.

    Same basic approach if the Trump Adm. was to find a
    cure for Cancer.Trump would be held guilty and mocked for taking too
    long.Like what took you so long Orange man.Working on ways to
    get the cure to Family and Friends first,were ya.
    Folks this OP is a classic,perfect example of the lengths to which
    a Reversal of Fortune is used as a meme.Reverse the good fortune
    Trump brings to Americans and turn it on him.In short,make him
    out to be some Bogeyman,despite the contrary.Part of how Gaslighting
    works.Which was used to great effect on Patty Hearst.

    That's hysterical considering.............

    The left claims Trump didn't act fast enough. Obama gets on TV saying he's monitoring the flu and preparing "to do what ever it takes" to stop the spread of the Mexican Swine Flu. Apparently, closing the southern border and banning air travel to Mexico for other than immediate family of U.S. citizens and permanent residents was beyond what ever it takes. Obama declared a national emergency just 19 days before the CDC "reported an estimated 22 million Americans had been infected with 2009 A H1N1 and 4,000 Americans have died." Biden was Obama's VP what did he do during all this but nod his head and say yes boss! Folks need to call him on this one.



    Obama: Swine Flu Cause for Concern, Not Alarm | Apr 27, 2009

    On April 26, 2009, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services declared Swine Flu a public health emergency.[127] On October 24, 2009, President Barack Obama declared Swine Flu a national emergency in the United States.

    There is NO "Equivalency" (whatsoever) between COVID-19 and N1H1. NONE.

    ^Everybody KNOWS that.

    And, the Constant FAILED Attempt to "Compare" the 2 is a "Talking Point" that was DEBUNKED Months Ago.

    I am actually stunned that anybody is actually still using the DEBUNKED/FAILED "But, Obama, N1H1" stuff.


    Puzzling.:smh: :flagus:

    You like to say so, but there is. Obama/Biden failed to close the southern border with Mexico the country of origin for the H1N1 Swine Flu nor did he restrict travel. Trump closed all travel with China as well as anything less than essential shipments from the Corona Virus country of origin. Had Obama/Biden done this with the lower mortality rate of H1N1, they could have saved a large portion of the 12,000+ lives lost. They dropped the ball and cost American lives, why would anyone vote for Biden.......the man of inaction.

    H1N1 killed 12,000 people in a year. 365 days.

    We will cross the 12,000 people dead from COVID in 4-5 days. That's 39 days. We are at 7,391 now, after 32 days, and we're growing exponentially.

    We will be around 65,000 dead by May 1.

    On March 30, we had 558 new deaths.

    Today we had 1,320 new deaths.

    Our first death was 2/29.

    On March 17, we crossed 100 total deaths.

    Today, 7,391 total.

    That's what exponential looks like.

    My fears & evolving opinion points towards our State governors unilaterally taking 'broad brush' strokes on this; mitigating potential re-election blow back. There are many counties in some states that have NO reported cases of Chinese Wuhan Virus; - yet they are subject to the same economy crushing mandates as the "red zone" counties within their state.

    The absurdly un-American notion of 'if it saves even one life' is complete BS! Many of us make calculated risks in life to achieve our dreams. Prudence & personal responsibility for ourselves & others will at some point have to be weighed in the balance of the life we strive to achieve. This is a discussion that our Nation will have to reconcile itself with in the near future - economic / fiscal devastation vs. the inherent risk involved w/ achieving the American dream...

    Globalist entities like the UN, WHO, IMF et al. (& many Dem. Congress critters) are seeing this as the 'door' being cracked wide open toward the furtherance of their utopianistic agenda... They desperately want to control the masses in the purview of ideology; how & the manner in which we live & sustain ourselves, production --> consumption to the grave. Apropos analogy, perhaps, I'm somewhat involved in the livestock industry (family owned ranch) & we orchestrate the lives of our beef animals closely from the time they are calves - when they are weaned, what & when they eat, vaccinations, antibiotics PRN etc... More & more I'm finding corollaries with 'our way of life' to that of my beef stock! Will all of this be rolled back when the teeth of this virus has lost its grip - I fear that it will not. I'm quite certain that there are vested interests, here and abroad, that will do anything to prevent us from returning to our American birthright, ensconced in personal freedom & enumerated liberties...

    My initial thoughts when this started were "this is just a test run."

    I wonder if people will still be so anti gun after this?
