What would have happened if Obama had been president during the coronavirus?

I think he would have nationalized everything, total lockdown and rationing of food and gasoline.

It would have been business as usual, just like during Ebola, Swine flu, H1N1, MRSA, etc. It’s pretty obvious this chinese fire drill is only intended to provide ‘RATS with things to twist and skew into topics for blaming our President and hopefully wound his chances at reelection in November.

He would be making flowery speeches ever day, doing nothing, and we would already be at 2,000,000 deaths, but he would be reassuring us how good the situation actually was.

“Millions more deaths of innocent people by now.”

So you still believe the faulty model by the now resigned “scientist” who has gotten every other he’s done wrong as well?

I’ve been pondering this since February, the real question is how bad off would we be right NOW, if HELLARY had won? WE’d be w/ out a country. It would be over.

A lot of you said he would do nothing, but the news from Italy and France would have gotten here.

This
Or sooner with all the flights from China flooding in
Plus sick people streaming in over the open southern border by the thousands
Total swing to federal takeover of the medical system, industry, banking
National mandates trampling the states

It would be an absolute disaster

Funny thought, if the conspiracy theorists are freaking out now about the lockdown under Trump just imagine what it would have been with Obama ha

Its entirely possible the world would not have had any “coronavirus crisis.”

Certainly the American media would have significantly downplayed it.

IF we use the same scenario as of now, the news from France and Italy would be out there, and the lib press couldn’t ignore it. The only difference from now is tha the commie press would be praising his every move.

> It did happen in 2009-2010. He did nothing.

Bingo !

This lockdown is all about eliminating OMBV-16 (Orange Man Bad Virus 2016), not COVID-19 ...

He would have gone golfing, then he an Moochie would have gone on a date night, and he would have sent pallets of money to the Chi-Coms, and Iran.

That’s right, nothing. Hardly a whisper would have been made of it.

First, the media would have done the opposite narrative.

“This is nothing to worry about, our experts have it under control.” They would have reinforced that this primarily affects senior citizens with comorbidity.

Because our hospitals were never overrun, and the shutdowns really had nothing to do with it, I am convinced that they would have just downplayed the whole thing and suggested that those at risk take a “few” minor precautions.

Also, unlike during a Trump presidency, there would have been very strict guidelines to declare a death Covid caused. So the reported deaths would be about 25% of what they are now.

What ever Bozo did he would not have had to take into consideration being blamed for anything by the press.

What about the France and Italy lockdowns? I know Macron hates Trump, but isn’t the Italian PMa Trump friend and he put his country into a big lockdown. The commie press couldn’t ignore that.

I agree, and it would have been the same if Hillary were in office.

Total dictatorship, loss of freedoms, and the elections canceled.

God has given us a reprieve with President Trump.

I only hope, and pray, that He sees fit to give us four more years to turn things around.

If we don’t, then it’s time for the final curtain to come down.

2 million US deaths after Obama reponses this week to the virus and closed down everything until . Press would be fawning on his quick response and that he saved 100’s of millions of lives!
