There is a line between repressed authoritarianism, and common sense leadership. Somehow, Obama was able to strike the line with N1H1 and yet, was crucified by the right on it. yet, the stock market rose, the economy never skipped a beat [b]and schools we never even suggested to close.[/b]

Trump and his followers are clearly just pathetic, incompetent losers.[/quote]

From Reuters:

It is incorrect to say that nothing was consequently canceled, or that the stock market was “smooth sailing” while this pandemic unfolded. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), “when novel influenza H1N1 emerged suddenly in 2009, it was not surprising that over 726 K-12 schools in the United States closed” (here). On May 2, 2009, President Obama in his weekly address to the nation reminded Americans of the CDC’s recommendation that “schools and childcare facilities with confirmed cases of the virus close for up to fourteen days.” (here)

For the first five months of the pandemic, which began in the U.S. in April 2009 and ended in August 2010, the U.S. was still in the midst of the Great Recession (here) though the S&P 500 did grow 65 percent between March 9 and December 30, 2009 (here).

At the beginning of the H1N1 outbreak, U.S. stock index futures traded lower as worries linked to a global swine flu outbreak added to U.S. bank stress-test jitters (here). The same day, Reuters also reported that “stocks worldwide and oil prices fell… on fears that a possible flu pandemic could further weaken a global economy thrown into recession by a financial crisis.” (here) [/quote]

Closing for 14 days because of a case being present =/= what we have now
Stock market futures falling in light of the existing financial crisis at the time =/= what we have now...and Obama didn't have a friendly Fed propping up the country.[/quote]
