CNN Downplayed Swine Flu Under Obama, Went Gonzo On Wuhan Flu Under Trump By Chrissy Clark In 2009, at the height of the H1N1 pandemic commonly referred to as “swine flu,” the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) suggested Americans should shut down schools, begin working from home, and quarantine themselves. Americans made minimal changes to their routines. Eleven years later, a new pandemic arose with similar CDC suggestions, but an entirely different reaction. Americans are stockpiling toilet paper and many are taking extreme precautions to self-quarantine in these so-called unprecedented times.
