I'm getting really tired of people referencing H1N1 and how Obama failed with a pandemic so much worse than the current administration! I'm especially tired of people misrepresenting numbers to match their agenda.
This tweet was made on April 2, 2020. At this point, the numbers he is touting covers a period of about 4 months. The numbers he compares to for H1N1 covers the span of 1 year and are total estimates!!! In the US over that span of time, there was an estimated 60.8 million cases, and only 12,469 deaths...again, this is a 1 year timeframe. Right now, in the US, we are sitting at 1.37 million cases and over 80,000 deaths since this virus was discovered overseas at the end of November 2019. This is a timespan of about 5 months (6 months tops depending on which timeline you look at). In less than half the time, the number of US deaths are about 5x that of H1N1 US deaths, and this is with way fewer infections! The mortality rate of this virus is much higher! But...keep posting the numbers in the way you want to represent them to meet your agenda, as many others continue to die.
And with all these claims that deaths are being misrepresented on death certificates and such to overinflate the numbers, this is not happening! I saw some comment today, "If someone dies of cancer, it is being recorded as a COVID-19 death!" If this were being done, doctors would be losing their licenses! THIS IS ILLEGAL! Why would doctors all across the country risk their livelihood to misrepresent COVID-19 numbers?! Seriously, people!
