1. H1N1 a national emergency
Obama acted before pandemic declared
- The Obama administration declared swine flu, or H1N1, a public health emergency six weeks before H1N1 was declared a pandemic.
- No H1N1 deaths had yet been recorded in the United States.
- Six months after that initial declaration, when more than 1,000 deaths had occurred, Obama himself declared H1N1 a national emergency.
Obama’s acting director of health and human services declared H1N1 a public health emergency on April 26, 2009.
That was when only 20 cases of H1N1 — and no deaths — around the country had been confirmed.
Post criticizing Obama response to H1N1 gets facts wrong
President Donald Trump’s response to the coronavirus is being defended with an attack on how President Barack Obama handwww.politifact.comTrump’s H1N1 Swine Flu Pandemic Spin - FactCheck.org
In tweets and other appearances, President Donald Trump has repeatedly compared his response to the new coronavirus with President Barack Obama’s handling of the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic. But Trump’s information is frequently incorrect or misleading -- and the two viruses are very different.www.factcheck.org
2. How did the World Health Organization warn the current administration?
The WHO told them information they had at the time. It has been asked have you any proof that WHO told them information the knew to be false?
3. Trump: When did he know, and how long did he wait?
The travel ban as explained served little purpose. It was just a block on direct travel which couldn't be done anyway as the airlines had already stopped flying.

After that he downplayed the virus and told everyone there was no need to worry (prepare).
4. And as soon as Trump stopped travel with China, Biden and the Democrats called him a racist xenophobe for doing so
We have explained this time and time again... He said Trump is a racist xenophobe, which there is plenty of evidence.
Biden points out that it is hard to trust a racist xenophobe actions in a crisis, which means is he doing things because he is a racist xenophobe or because he is fighting the crisis.
That is a fair comment and would need to be said if Trump wasn't a racist xenophobe.
Let's check:
Obama.....took him 6 months and 1,000 dead Americans to act.
"Obama declares H1N1 emergency
October 26, 2009 8:47 a.m. EDT
Washington (CNN) -- President Obama has declared a national emergency to deal with the "rapid increase in illness" from the H1N1 influenza virus."
Obama declares H1N1 emergency - CNN.com
It isn't until paragraph 10 that this is noted:
"Since the H1N1 flu pandemic began in April, millions of people in the United States have been infected, at least 20,000 have been hospitalized and more than 1,000 have died, said Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."
That was CNN.
You are a liar as usual.
Obama's acting HHS director declared a national health emergency on April 26, 2009. At the time, no one died and 20 people were infected. WHO declared a pandemic on June 11, 2009. Obama declared a second emergency so doctors could bypass certain federal regulations.
For weeks Trump dithered and told us there was nothing wrong when his scientists were telling him the exact opposite. He refused to invoke the Defense Production Act until March 15. Then there was a delay in using it once he invoked it.
When did the President of the United States declare a national health emergency per the H1N1 epidemic?
And, if "Obama's acting HHS director declared a national health emergency on April 26, 2009," why would Hussein have done it again in October, six months later, after 1,000 Americans had died?
Maybe he did it every month?
He'd have to have been a moron, huh?
From the CDC website:
CDC activated its Emergency Operations Center (EOC) on April 22, 2009, to coordinate the response to this emerging public health threat.
Obama did not declare a national health emergency. He declared a national emergency to allow doctors to bypass certain federal regulations.
From Fox News:
"President Obama signed a proclamation declaring the H1N1 influenza a national emergency, giving doctors and medical facilities greater leeway in responding to the flu pandemic.
Obama signed the declaration late Friday, which the White House said allows medical treatment facilities to better handle a surge in flu patients by waiving federal requirements on a case-by-case basis."

I really didn't need your spin.
I pointed out that Trump declared a national emergency 11 days after the event, and Obama did so 6 months after the event and 1,000 Americans dead.
CNN stated it, and you verified it.
