During the 2009-2010 N1H1 -swine flu.   there were 60 million cases, 300,000 hospitalizations, and 18,000 people diedin . 

It began April 15, 2009 and ended  August 11, 2010 when the WHO said it was no longer a threat.. There were two waves of this virus.  The first from Aprill to Mid July of 2009 and the second August 20th, 2009 to.around March 2010. The vacint was available for the second round and was recommend that all people get it.  What the President did nothing except to recomment in 2010 that everyone get the vaccination.   There were no travel restrictions, no work from home mandates if sick, no runs on paper product, meds, water and food.  The public was not scared.  We were told to wash our hands, have good hygiene, dont touch your face, etc.  All things that we afe bring told about COVID-1

Now I know we are still at the begining of this Virus so we will revisit this in a few weeks or months.  But just note the difference between the reponse of COVID-19 and Swine Flu

The different between these two outbreaks is one president did something to protect the America people one did not.  One president is loved by the democratic party and the media and on is venomously hated.  One has done more to put the country back on track and creat jobs, bring jobs back the onther taxed corporations and drove them away and told the American people those jobs will never come back. So in other words to bad so sad. Get over it.  Well those job are coming back.  Guess he was wrong.  I could keep going but I think you get the point.
