80 million confirmed cases, 300,000 hospitalized and 17,000 deaths due to the swine flu in 2009, 2010. No travel bans, no cancelation of sports events, no panic only accolades for the government, no crash in the market. The difference, Obama
ReplyDeleteIt comes through iPhones made in China. Each one has a tiny virus-filled capsule triggered to release when a certain telemarketers call at dinnertime. Obamaphones are said to have a different virus, one that triggers when burial insurance salespeople call.
ReplyDelete(What's one more nonsense conspiracy when there are so many others?)
You are probably not so far-fetched. The virus could have come in the box with your new iPhone or any other purchase delivered by usps ups , etc. Even in the envelope with your bills... Scarey, isn’t it?????
ReplyDeleteStop comparing to other viruses/pandemics. This is WAY different, even if it is a Dem created virus, it has gotten out of hand. The worst part, because of inaction from our President, we have a laughable supply of testing equipment. We are not going to be able to tell where it is, if/when it has stopped, or any other benefits we could get from testing surveillance. We are in big trouble, folks. Stay home and binge watch streaming shows.
ReplyDelete1:40...are you saying none of that happened because of what Obama did/didn’t do or just because the media was in love with Obama?
ReplyDeleteDeadliest H1N1 and swine flu’s were during Obama’s presidency but never headline news and didn’t affect economy this is about trying to bring down president Trump.
ReplyDelete359 Bwahaha, Trump is the one that made a big stink of closing down travel weeks back. You dont think that impacted investors? Then something totally unrelated (russia oil trade war) pops off. Oil tanked. Are you saying thats due to the media? Now you have a trump travel ban with europe. You fools ever actually take a look at reality or do you sit on the couch drunk off bud and make stuff up all the time?
