You ought to try that honesty thing out.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has estimated that H1N1 killed about 12,500 Americans between April 2009 and 2010, far fewer people than typically die each year from the flu.
Though the H1N1 virus had begun spreading in Mexico, the first case in the United States was detected on April 15, 2009, in a 10-year-old patient in California. Two days later, CDC laboratory testing confirmed a second infection in an 8-year-old also living in California. Within one week, the CDC had activated its Emergency Operations Center to respond to what it had identified as an emerging public health threat.
That was when only 20 cases of H1N1 — and no deaths — around the country had been confirmed.
Two days later, the administration made an initial funding request for H1N1 to Congress. Eventually $7.65 billion was allocated for a vaccine and other measures.
H1N1 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on June 11, 2009.
As a measure to aid in controlling future pandemics the Obama administration developed the PLAYBOOK FOR EARLY RESPONSE TO EMERGING INFECTIOUS DISEASE THREATS AND BIOLOGICAL INCIDENTS, it was completed in 2016.
Wonder what the next administration did with that?

Jeebus, Pete. When are you going to discuss like an adult? The last part (in bold) is like throwing chit at the wall to see what sticks in order to "prove" a point....
Just what department, under the Obama admin's oversight, developed this playbook??? CDC? HHS??? Connect some dots, for crying out loud... You throw out that statement expecting us to believe, what? That the playbook was left in the Oval office? And the Trump housekeepers just threw it out? Trump insults my intelligence enough. At least he is not signed on in here. Try to do better...

A nothing constructive, biased, anti-Trump, incomplete comparison of past administrations, leading viewer to believe total failure is at hand and calling for him to resign....
And I am disgusted with his pettiness, yet loathe this type of negativity with no positive direction.

Last week: Trump said he invoked the DPA, minutes later he said he didn't invoke it
Two days ago: Trump said he didn't need the DPA
Yesterday: He said we may have too many ventilators
Today:
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
· 1h
General Motors MUST immediately open their stupidly abandoned Lordstown plant in Ohio, or some other plant, and START MAKING VENTILATORS, NOW!!!!!! FORD, GET GOING ON VENTILATORS, FAST!!!!!! @GeneralMotors @Ford
If you were a company leader, responsible to your shareholders, how would you interpret this?
The reason we have the DPA is not to be able to force companies to do something against their will and foolishly, but to assure them that they will be compensated so that they willingly use their resources to accomplish the goal.

This falls under the National Security Council
The Obama administration spent the time to brief the incoming administration on a whole bunch of national security issues.
These playbooks exist for a number of possible issues
Read it and then ask yourself how did we get to where we are when the intelligence community had corona Virus and the extent of it in briefings starting in December
