It doesn't matter it a virus showed up 3 months or 3 years after someone is elected. You ran to be President, knowing this type of issue could arise.

The Swine Flu had multiple waves. Obama didn't declare a NATIONAL EMERGENCY until late October 2009. Prior to that the HHS did declare a public health emergency, but that is not the same thing. By early November 2009 more than 4,000 Americans had died from the disease with millions being infected.

The difference is the media wasn't running around treating the pandemic as a reason to throw sanity out of the window. The media was urging calm. Today they are actively selling panic for political purposes.

My daughter was in the hospital having her daughter, during the Swine Flu outbreak. She showed symptoms, after giving birth. She was isolated and tested. I would call this an appropriate response to the problem. It cost her one day of her life in quarantine, and her insurance company one day of hospital costs. Since you bring up mortality, the garden variety flus we get each year have a mortality rate of about 0.1%. The Swine Flu had a mortality rate of 0.02%. The current mortality rate of the Cornoavirus, worldwide is 3.4%. Shifting focus from the actions, or inactions of the current president to a past president will not keep the Coronavirus in the U.S. from reaching the 4.9% experienced in Wuhan Province. The people working on the team headed by Vice-President Pence have the lowest possible infection rates and death rates possible, as goals. I hope we all hope they are successful, no matter how nonsensical the president is acting. In the end we will all know the truth about the Coronavirus, as much as we know about the Swine Flu. Some will accept the truth. Others will still see this as some sort of a "hoax," rather than a challenge to our system and its leaders.

"The current mortality rate of the Cornoavirus, worldwide is 3.4%."

Multiple virologist have commented on this issue and have stated they believe this mortality rate to be over stated and not accurate. Why? Because they believe more people are sick with the Coronavirus but are just staying home and treating it like a flu.

The tests necessary to confirm Coronavirus infection are not easily availabe as Dr. Anthony Fauci, the premier member of V.P. Pence's team, has stated multiple times. But, the worldwide infection and mortality rates were confirmed with tests available overseas.

"I think it's lower because we are missing mild cases," said Jennifer Nuzzo, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security. "We should be preparing for [the worst] cases, it's true, but also going out to see what the real number is."

Obama on the other hand, waited until the second wave of H1N1, and tens of millions were infected before taking the same step

A Public Health Emergency had been declared by the Obama Administration in the first days of the H1N1 outbreak in April 2009. That freed up drugs from the national stockpile, that experts felt would be needed. President Obama declared a National Emergency when it was possible that the H1N1 might overwhelm our healthcare system. It freed up additional resources for health care workers. In the end the H1N1 had a mortality rate of 0.02%, much less than the 0.1% mortality rate of garden variety flus. There just may be medical reasons for President Trump to decare a National Emergency with less than 2,200 Americans infected. The current worldwide mortality rate is 3.4%. It was 4.9% in the Wuhan Province of China. But, it appears that the faltering economy may have been the reason the President acted. That will not make up for the lost time in tracking infections, due to poor intitial official reactions. The president was calling the Coronavirus a hoax when our attention should have been focused on getting people tested. The fact that his hyper-defensive default posture made the Mueller Probe and the Ukraine phone call much bigger political problems than they should have been, appears to have kept him from being the kind of proactive leader that puts the health of his countrypeople ahead of his public image. After the 9-11 attacks, almost all of America (including lifelong traditional Democrats like me) united behind our President George W. Bush. This is a crisis of equal gravity. I wish I could support the president, as he is consumed by it. Instead, I am embarrassed for him. .

" Public Health Emergency had been declared by the Obama Administration in the first days of the H1N1 outbreak in April 2009. "

Not the same thing as a NATIONAL EMERGENCY declared by the President.

Stop trying to rewrite history.

The medically necessary steps were taken and the mortality rate was very small. I am not rewriting history. I am just trying to point out exactly what it says and what it means. Obama did not declare a National Emergency in reaction to the existing problem, but in anticipation that the health care system would need further help. I would suggest that you do a little independent research. But, you seem satisfied with the ignorance that restating Trump Troll Tlaking Points allows.

"Obama did not declare a National Emergency in reaction to the existing problem, but in anticipation that the health care system would need further help."

The 4,000 dead would likely disagree with your benign analysis. It was clearly reactionary. At this point, when Obama declared the emergency which provides government funding to hospitals, hundreds of thousands were hospitalized. If he was "out in front" he would have declared the emergency in THE FIRST WAVE.

Yes, you are trying to rewrite history.

But when Trump says the same thing, he is an idiot.
