Actually, Obama had a p******c response team, that team would have been assessing worst case scenarios and prepping for respirators and protective gear, and building a bigger stockpile from back in January. They would have determined how many masks and other equipment there were, and commandeered it weeks ago so as to coordinate worst hit states with what they needed and prepared for projected needs...it's what this group that trump got rid of did. And by the way get rid of it he did, these people were not integrated with other groups, the p******c response team was done away with.
Oh, and testing? I have no idea what or how trumps CDC botched that so badly, except that it was not kicked into gear for months and still isn't nearly what it needs to be. North Korea kicked testing into high gear in the middle of January.
Trump has created a scene of chaos in obtaining needed masks and protective wear, it has been done better than this by other presidents.

Really??? Well then this must be wrong, note the time line along with the numbers..ohh and lets add the Same CDC Trump is also involved with~~ Took 6 months to get a v*****e up and running in the states and how long before BO took action??? He knew in April there was a p******c~~
The World Health Organization on March 11 declared the C****-** outbreak a p******c, the first such declaration in 11 years.
Here's a look back on the 2009 swine flu p******c with eight key facts from the CDC:
1. The flu strain responsible for the outbreak — influenza A (H1N1)pdm09 — was first detected in America in April 2009.
2. The strain represented a unique combination of influenza v***ses never before seen in humans or animals.
3. The v***s quickly spread globally, primarily affecting children and adults under 65 who lacked immunity to H1N1.
4. The WHO declared the swine flu outbreak a p******c on June 11, 2009.
5. Between April 12, 2009, and April 10, 2010, the CDC estimates swine flu caused 60.8 million illnesses, 273,304 hospitalizations and 12,469 deaths in the U.S.
6. On Oct. 5, 2009, the U.S. began administering a newly approved H1N1 v*****e to select Americans, with v******tion coverage expanding nationwide by that December.
7. WHO declared an end to the p******c on Aug. 10, 2010.
8. Globally, an estimated 151,700 to 575,400 people died from swine flu in the first year of the p******c.
For reference, the C****-** p******c has sickened 1,323 Americans and k**led 38, as of March 12. More than 127,00 cases and 4,700 deaths have been reported globally.
