tweeted one message of condolence or concern for any victims of the COVID virus? Nothing. Not one word to the families on this "National Day of Prayer".

Contrary to Trumps suggestion that the Obama administration did nothing, officials declared a public health emergency early in the H1N1 outbreak, secured funding from Congress and ultimately declared a national emergency, as well explain below.
On top of that, the CDC sequenced the new virus, created testing kits, and the Food and Drug Administration approved multiple vaccines, among other actions.
Rep. Michael Burgess, a Republican from Texas, praised the CDC at a House hearing in 2016 for quickly developing a vaccine for the swine flu in about six months in time for the start of the school year in September 2009. So thats a 6-month time frame if Im doing my math correctly that you were able to identify the genetic sequence of the virus, reverse engineer a vaccine, test it, assure its safety and efficacy, and get it to school teachers on the second week of school. Thats pretty impressive, he said.
On April 15, 2009, the first infection was identified in California, according to the CDC, and less than two weeks later, on April 26, 2009, the Obama administration declared a public health emergency. The day before, on April 25, the World Health Organization had declared a public health emergency.
Dr. Richard Besser, then-acting director of the CDC, confirmed to the press on the day of the U.S. declaration that there were 20 cases of H1N1 in the U.S., and that all of the individuals in this country who have been identified as cases have recovered.

(4,723 posts)There is nothing in it for him. He has no capacity for empathy or sympathy, anyway. If his twitter account did tweet out something about victims of the virus, it would likely be an underling sending it out in an attempt to save Trump face.

Please keep up - this is the ultimate asshole we are talking about.
Sarcasm is in regard to keeping up, not his being the ultimate asshole. We all know who the ultimate asshole is - he tweets the answer every day.
