You believe incorrectly. There is/was no "Obama model" for responding to the threat of a pandemic. You got that "information" about Obama from a right-wing propaganda website, not any kind of objective source. When you grow up, hopefully you'll learn not to give automatic credence to people who say things you want to hear.
It's irrelevant in any case when talking about what Trump has failed to do.
You suggested that Trump follow Obama's moves, or his model. What did Obama do that was great that Trump isn't doing. Trump still has 4 months to call it an emergency, if he's following the Obama moves that you so adore.
It's irrelevant in any case when talking about what Obeyme failed to do. - Corrected and fixed.
Plagiarized. And there has never been any President amed "Obeyme."
By the way, that's a doubly stupid nickname, because do you think Trump doesn't expect tp be obeyed? Moron.

You got that six-month time period from a right-wing propaganda website, so quit referring to it as if it was factual.
Obama created a pandemic response team specifically to deal with crises like the present one. Trump destroyed it and took away its funding. So that's one thing that Obama did that "was so great" and Trump has fucked up. He could have left it alone, and we could have responded to the coronavirus much more quickly and effectively. But noooooo---he destroyed the program for no better reason than it was something that Obama created.
What you don't realize (or are deliberately ignoring) is that Ebola, unlike coronavirus, can only be transmitted by direct contact with an infected person's bodily fluids or waste. Also, unlike coronavirus, there are very few asymptomatic cases, meaning that when someone is infected, they know it. This means that containment strategies are and should be much different.
President Obama's response was to deploy 3,000 service members, along with 10,000 civilian workers, to West Africa to help treat and contain the disease. He banned flights to and from infected areas. Unlike Trump, he was successful in containing the outbreak--there were two deaths from Ebola during 2014 in the US.
I'm going to stop trying to explain to you what Obama did, because as I said, what he did or didn't do doesn't have anything to do with Trump's incompetence. Quit using the stupid false equivalence Trump argument.

Not true! Trump did not defund some Obama response team, it is still in existence! That is also a BS democrat talking point.
Now the H1N1 virsu had thousands die and Obama did not even recognize it or speak of it for months!
What Obama did or didn't do has absolutely nothing with what Trump is or isn't doing. And the pandemic response team was indeed destroyed by Trump. He won't admit it, but that's on the record. He's since reconstituted it, but thanks to his stupidity, the team wasn't in existence during the critical six weeks when we could have taken steps to mitigate the pandemic.
Blood on Trump's hands. Whether he or you Trumpers want to admit it or not.
Everything Kevin alludes to is a lie. That is nothing new.

Your last line on the blood on Trump's hand is BS, what did you watch the weekend DNBC and Chuck Todd for that? Even sleepy Joe disagreed with Suck Todd on that.
