Remember A Similar Shutdown In 2009 - 2010?

Me neither.
I can't imagine why though.
There were 60.8 million cases of infections. Well, since nobody was apparently really paying attention there was a range: 43.3-89.3 million.

2009, wasn't THAT long ago.
What could possibly explain the enormous difference this event and the covid19 event? I mean, all the incessant haranguing of the president, which occupies even more press time than the actual virus!

One might think that there are ulterior motives on the part of the media and political opponents!

If Obama were sitting in the white house now, we wouldn't even be hearing about this.

Covid has killed nearly twice that many already, and it's been around for about 1/5 the time the H1N! pandemic lasted. Your meme is dumb.

@Budwick She's bitching about deaths from an epidemic that had 1/10th the lethality rate of the current one, and I'm the one missing the point?

Yeah, I think maybe you are.

Obama's flu was still lethal, and he suffered zero hits from media - zip, zero - Nada.

@Budwick Sure he didn't.
