Isn't it a fact that nearly all the patients who have died in the USA were old and/or had chronic health issues to begin with?
what a loser sheep you are.
are experts important? sure
but I also know how to read.
Do you know how to read? they teach it when you are young. you should try it sometime. it allows you to digest information and learn things
There ya go.
I heard China was getting back to normalcy.
So where do you stand with the hysterics, liberal? Should we be cowering in our houses or should we be living our lives as usual but with a little more precaution?
As "normal" as a repressive Communist regime can be, I suppose.
Except the ones who DO..............
English couple going through the process brought off the ship in Japan. Fascinating.
When it's bacterial pneumonia, you use antibiotics.......but with a virus, you just have to
allow the body to heal itself. They even moved them to a room with big windows to have
availability of direct sunlight (AGAIN THIS IS TO RECEIVE MORE VITAMIN D). They
were given D3 on The Princess and again in the hospital in Japan!
I can't stress this enough. Build up your immune system to help your body's recovery
from any possible viral attack.
As David says at the end, "Don't be scared!!!"
Take daily: 5,000IU D3 & K2
Get at least 30-60 minutes of direct sunlight/day
Vitamin D3 sources: mackeral, sardines, egg yolks, kale, spinach, collards, Brazil nuts.

I think the point is The Obama didn’t say much about the H1N1 Virus one way or the other.
Until, finally.

I think you don't remember. I already posted a timeline of Obama's responses to it.
Btw, do you remember any repubs criticizing him for his actions?
His advice sounds oddly familiar, doesn't it, lol?
It's like he was saying H1N1 was no big deal.
How many days elapsed between the CDC and WHO declaration of the H1N1 pandemic and your Messiah's declaration of a national emergency?

Well it just so happens I am a physician I have run an E.R. and have studied epidemiology and about epidemics and pandemics. Trump's rapid response to COVID19 and Obama's late H1N1 is certainly fair game. The spread of COVID19 and flu is similar. So comparing the flu and COVID19 in some things is reasonable. I can tell you you should be thankful that Trump did the Chinese and now European travel bans. Trump and his virologist and epidemiologist advisers are trying to flatten the curve on how this thing hits the population. If left unchecked it will spike like a flu does. But more COVID19 patients will require hospitalization than flu patients. That spike will overload hospitals just like it already has in Italy and in China. By slowing the person to person transmission rate the same numbers of people will likely contract COVID19 but they will do it over a longer period of time. That would reduce the load on hospitals at any given point in time. We don't need to be seeding more hot spots in the US with unchecked travel from China and Europe right now. When I hear people saying we shouldn't ban travel from heavily infected countries because the virus is already in the US I know for a fact they have no idea what they are talking about.
Let's compare pandemics.
Obama waited until October 24, 2009 until he declared the swine flu outbreak a national emergency.
By late October, millions of people in the United States had swine flu, known as H1N1.
Although there had been no exact count, in October, 2009, Obama administration officials admitted that the H1N1 virus had killed more than 1,000 Americans and hospitalized over 20,000.
Obama's belated declaration came as thousands of people lined up in cities across the country to receive vaccinations, and Obama administration officials acknowledged that their vaccination program had gotten off to a slow start.
Only 16 million doses of vaccine were available by October 2009. Some states had requested 10 times the amount they had been allotted.
Flu activity, virtually all of it the swine flu, was by then widespread in 46 states, a level that Obama officials said equaled the peak of a typical winter flu season.
By contrast, President Trump declared a national emergency within three days after the CDC and WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic, yet DEMOCRATS claim his response was lacking.

I heard that Russia closed their borders almost immediately and that there are no known COVID-19 deaths in that country, and very few confirmed cases.
The known cases that exist there are reportedly confined to people who had traveled to Asia or had been in contact with someone who had.
Yet the left demands open borders.

Something like 120? But it doesn't change anything about trump's lies, O Prince of Prevarication.
In a March 12 meeting with the prime minister of Ireland, Trump repeated the sentiment.
“If you go back and look at the swine flu, and what happened with the swine flu, you’ll see how many people died, and how actually nothing was done for such a long period of time, as people were dying all over the place,” he said. “We’re doing it the opposite. We’re very much ahead of everything.”
Trump is correct on the number of H1N1 cases and deaths, but it’s misleading to compare those figures to the current outbreak of COVID-19, which has just begun. It’s also not true that the Obama administration did nothing or waited a long time to act on the H1N1 influenza pandemic. In 2009, a new H1N1 influenza virus cropped up out of season, in late spring. Because of genetic similarities to influenza viruses in pigs, it became known as a “swine flu,” even though there is no evidence the virus spread between pigs or pigs to humans.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were about 60.8 million cases of infection with the novel type of influenza virus in the U.S. between April 2009 and April 2010, with a total of approximately 274,304 hospitalizations and 12,469 deaths. While that death toll may sound high, it’s over an entire year and, in fact, ended up being far lower than was initially expected. The strain of influenza also turned out to have a case fatality rate of just 0.02% — well below even many typical seasonal influenzas.
Everything that’s known about the new coronavirus so far suggests that it’s an entirely different beast than its most recent pandemic predecessor. Peter Jay Hotez, a professor and dean of the tropical medicine school at Baylor College of Medicine, told us that the new virus, which is known as SARS-CoV-2, is considerably more transmissible and more lethal than H1N1. For those reasons, he said, “the urgency to contain this coronavirus is so much greater than the H1N1 2009 one was.”
