Two died during the Obama admin with ebola. Were going on at least 100k under the trump virus.

But O had the CDC funded and operating fully, he had the pandemic response team on top of it. Plus, he had 26,000 epidemiologists and other personnel on the ground in Africa assisting the countries there in battling that virus.

That's what can be accomplished when you take medical intel seriously and you prepare.

trump doesn't believe in preparation or intel reports.

Obama just appointed an Ebola Czar with zero experience in the medical area and zero experience in infectious disease control. A TOTAL JOKE!

It hit while O was in his 3rd MONTH! This happened in Trump's 3rd YEAR!
First case, first death was late April 2009. Last cases & last death was July 2010.
12,000 dead in 15 months. Now, we're losing a thousand a day.
So, 800 per month vs, 30k per month extrapolated. 37.5x the deaths.
I had some RWNJ, before this really went sideways, railing about Obama & swine flu. Don't think that talking point carries much weight anymore. (BTW: he also doubled the # of deaths, because, convenience.)
