Does anybody remember when President Barack Obama gave daily press briefings about the deadly swine flu pandemic and was forced to shut the country down? Me neither.
On, Wednesday The former President that was responsible for the deaths of 12,000 Americans jumped into the national conversation and rebuked the President after his remarks on Fox News.
During his time as President, 60 million Americans got the swine flu (H1N1) and over 12,000 Americans died.
Obama said, “These are the burdens our medical heroes already face in NYC. It’s only going to get harder across the country. Another reason to maintain social distancing policies at least until we have comprehensive testing in place. Not just for our sake—for theirs.”

President Trump expressed that he would love to start opening up the country by easter.
“I would love to have [the country] open by Easter,” Trump said on Tuesday. “It’s such an important day for other reasons.”
President Trump also posted that the cure cannot be worse than the problem, suggesting that American has to move on at some point.
The LameStream Media is the dominant force in trying to get me to keep our Country closed as long as possible in the hope that it will be detrimental to my election success. The real people want to get back to work ASAP. We will be stronger than ever before!

Our people want to return to work. They will practice Social Distancing and all else, and Seniors will be watched over protectively & lovingly. We can do two things together. THE CURE CANNOT BE WORSE (by far) THAN THE PROBLEM! Congress MUST ACT NOW. We will come back strong!

Obama needs to shut up if this happened while he was President he would not have enacted a travel ban on China and Europe which would have left us open to a devastating infection rate.
The former president is spreading misinformation. Obama is not receiving daily briefings, the only reports he gets are from the news. He has no idea what the Administration is doing, he does not know what they are saying inside their internal meetings, nor has he seen the data being complied that guides the President in his decision making.
