when H1N1 was declared a global emergency, Obama waited 4 months - during which time millions of Americans were infected and over 1,000 had died - we didnt all panic then but with a virus that has had 3 months to run rampant has hundreds of Americans infected and less than 20 dead...we go absolute bananas.
Obama declared H1N1 a public health emergency - the same level that Trump has declared - before any Americans died. He later declared it a national emergency to get by Medicare and other regs and expedite treatments.
Question you sources if you're hearing otherwise.
