(The CDC estimate of 12,469 H1N1 deaths was for a full year; we’re under three months since the first US coronavirus case. The H1N1 figures is an after-the-fact estimate, not an attempt to count every case in real time like we’re seeing now.) — PolitiTweet.org

The number of US coronavirus deaths, per Johns Hopkins, has now exceeded the “17,000” number Trump has used in claiming Obama’s response to H1N1 was a “debacle.” (Flawed way to measure response quality, and the primary CDC estimate for H1N1 is actually 12,469, but nonetheless.) https://t.co/6m51w69qyk — PolitiTweet.org

Trump appeared to just arbitrarily pick 17,000, but it’s not as wrong as most of his arbitrary numbers. The CDC’s headline estimate is 12,469, but it says its estimate range goes up to 18,306, so Trump’s figure is within it. https://t.co/HSWveSqd77 — PolitiTweet.org

@ddale8 Where does Trump's 17,000 number come from? Thin air?
