What a completely bullshit article. Yes, there was a pandemic during Obama’s presidency - swine flu - and though it wasn’t as bad as COVID, it was bad and we were worried it would be worse. So the administration created a pandemic playbook, which was left in place for Trump. Of course, Trump ignored it and even disbanded offices that formed a part of the response team.
So Biden was completely accurate and it’s The Daily Beast who has memory issues, not him.
