For the life of me, I simply don't understand why Trump and his minions try to bring up Obama's handling of H1N1 as a counter response to Trump's handling of covid-19. The CDC estimates that 60 million people were infected from April 12, 2009 to April 10, 2010 and only 12.5K people died. While that's 12.5K too many deaths, the disease was far less deadly than covid-19. And we didn't have to shutdown the economy or adopting any social distancing practices.
