Food for thought. Throwback to 2009. Watch and listen to this carefully.

Swine Flue Outbreak Joe Biden 2009

No flight cancellations, no borders closed, no schools closed.

"We are told" he says at 2:12 minutes.

Yet...

KEYWORDS: 2009; biden; coronavirus; flu; h1n1; obama; pandemic; swineflu
My historical Note:
On April 29, 2009 WHO raised the level of influenza pandemic alert from phase 4 to phase 5, signaling that a pandemic was imminent, and requested all countries to immediately activate their pandemic preparedness plans and be on high alert for unusual outbreaks of influenza-like illness and severe pneumonia.

May 6, 2009: Peak school dismissal day in the spring phase of the pandemic. 980 schools were dismissed, affecting 607,778 students.

June 11, 2009: The World Health Organization (WHO) declared a pandemic and raised the worldwide pandemic alert level to phase 6, which means the virus was spreading to other parts of the world. CDC held its first press conference with former CDC Director Thomas Frieden, MD, MPH. The press conference had 2,355 participants.

Amazing bunch of softball questions with no followup. No whining or accusations.

Does this look like he is reading a script for the first time, and that he is not comfortable with what he does not know? Watch how Lauer is grilling him on closing the border, "This is by no means a gotcha type of question" about his family traveling. How Lauer let Biden answer questions without interrupting him with accusations.

Compare this to how President Trump has been treated by the national press for the last three years. I really forgot how much the news media played favorites with the Obama administration.

Report: Obama ignored requests to replenish N95 respirator masks in 2009

This is being reported now, it is not a throwback post. I thought it complemented this post.

Hey sniffer...bend over. Put your elitist, lying, dog-faced, pony-soldier head between your own legs and ESAD.

I saw on DU that Trump should be tried for murder for those morons that ate aquarium cleaners. I wonder how they’d take this. Another ban of course.

Wonder how many long hours and days and weeks of real work Joe the VP put in during Obama’s pandemic?

Winder if he worried about getting the millions of used up N95 masks replaced.

Riiiiiiiight...
