declare it an emergency.
Who was the leader back in 2009 again, and why were you and the left wing media not vocal about that greater health crisis? Trump’s response has been far, far more aggressive, yet it is incompetent in your eyes while Obama’s was not?!!!
Link from your own biased sources.
Stop being a hypocrite.

It's not unlike the regular flu.
Coronavirus death rate 100 times greater (using current date), but less infectious. Thus, it is important to stop infections. But you know this, right?

Good luck selling the whataboutism narrative in coming weeks.

....and I say you didn't see it becaue otherwise you would have known the answer.
Trump explained that the infrastructure was not gutted, but there were many CDC workers sitting around being paid for n reason. he stated that (paraphrase), "I would rather pay them when we need them. And we have. We have rehired all of the people needed and even more beyond what was there". And he is right about that. Had we had all of those people sitting there being paid for potential need, you can produce no evidence to support your claim our response time would have been any faster. The main problems have to do with developing an adequate screening test in large volume, and vaccine development (both are best handled by the private sector as the CDC admits btw), not govt worker shortages.
I do fully admit that it was a political liability to cut the waste in the CDC because you guys were going to use this criticism no matter what really happened.
You specifically accused Trump of poor leadership, and I rebutted this by showing that his response time has been faster than his predecessor whom you did not criticize. Thus, I also do not see this as a "whataboutism" unless that is going to be your claim anytime someone refutes your argument with examples.
make the right decision. Always do things better than Trump. And I'm sure all the people treated for H1N1 did it with their own doctor, like the Messiah promised.
