You hear things and you assume things. Trump is doing a good job with handling this virus. Even called for a National Emergency in
a more timely manner than did your Obama. He can now have access for more funds to combat the virus.

US Swine Flu Death Toll Includes 36 Children, Report
swine flu virus A(H1N1), two thirds of whom had one or more high risk medical conditions. Over 90 per cent of the children who had medical conditions had neurodevelopmental disorders such as developmental delay or
cerebral palsy and health-care professionals are urged to be aware of the potential for more severe illness, including death, among these children.
The report also shows that most of the children with neurodevelopmental conditions who died had more than one neurodevelopmental diagnosis and/or pulmonary conditions.
In addition, doctors should be aware of the higher risk of severe bacterial coinfections in children who have
flu and treat accordingly. Over 40 per cent of the reported deaths for which lab results were reported, showed the children also had bacterial coinfections.
The figures appear in this week’s
MMWR report from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which details results of surveillance for pediatric deaths linked to the 2009 pandemic swine flu from April to August.
As of 8th August, the CDC said it had received reports of 477 deaths linked to pandemic swine flu, including 36 deaths among children aged under 18 years of age. The youngest patient was 2 months old, and the oldest was 17. The figures also show that 7 of the children were under 5 years old (5 were under 2 years old).

On Oct 24, 2009 Obama finally called for a National Emergency which opened up the money needed to combat the virus.
I know, I know, he had called for a Public Health Emergency, well that didn't cut it and people began dropping and he dragged his feet
in declaring a National Emergency. That's what Obama did best....drag his feet. I can't count the times where I heard him say,
"We're going to get to the bottom of this", and that was the last heard on a subject.
