Here's the reality of this response versus the Obama/Biden response to the H1N1 pandemic.  60 million Americans were sickened by it.  I remember it well as I had entire offices of employees home with the flu.  They were lucky, pure and simple, that the H1N1 was not as deadly for the elderly or those with co-morbidities......and I mean lucky in capital letters.  Had it been as bad by the time they realized what was happening we would have been on the way to over a million deaths. Their response was abjectly incompetent compared to the response to the Wuhan virus.....by orders of magnitude.

Frankly most of the state and the Federal gov't agency's response was about as good as you can expect given the limitations and obstacles they face in doing anything.  I maintain that other than NY and NJ it was handled pretty well by the gov't.  I saw some time ago all the tasks completed by the Trump admin while the Democrats were busy on impeachment.  They weren't sitting by idly....they were working the problem.
