But it wasn't until six months later, October, that then-President Obama declared a public health emergency on what was already a pandemic. By that time, the disease had infected millions of Americans and more than 1,000 people had died in the U.S.

CNN reported at the time:



Since the H1N1 flu pandemic began in April, millions of people in the United States have been infected, at least 20,000 have been hospitalized and more than 1,000 have died, said Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Trump never called it a hoax virus. Clearly, Trump’s “hoax” comment was referring to Democrats claiming his administration is not doing a good job containing the virus. His first comments are about how Democrats asked how Trump is doing in regard to the Coronavirus, and he mockingly responds as them: “Not good.” He never said the coronavirus itself is a hoax, just Democrats’ claims that the Trump administration is failing to protect the country.
Poppaj, you fell for Russian propaganda paid for by DNC.

All of his followers are saying it's a hoax. All Trump cares about giving the appearance of competence, and of course the stock market. He's even thinking of cutting taxes just to prop up the market, because he knows that the economy is the only thing he has going for him. He can't speak of this crisis without self-congratulating, while at the same time finding a way to denigrate anyone who disagrees with him in the slightest as to how he is handling this situation. He clearly is not trying to err on the side of caution. What would you expect from a man who stares at a solar eclipse without eye protection? Maybe if this virus were spread by a sexual partner's urine, he would view it in a different light.

Why are you spreading lies and disinformation?

In April of 2009 the H1N1 virus was first reported in Mexico. In the United States Kathleen Sebelius, United States Secretary of Health and Human Services, first declared a public health emergency in response to the virus on April 26, 2009 and renewed that declaration on July 24, 2009 and October 1, 2009. On October 29, 2009 Obama declared the flu a national emergency as the virus continued to evolve.
This information is readily available on US gov websites and news from the period. I found it in less than five minutes.

This is from LVT’s link. Notice that it directly contradicts the first sentence in your post.
On April 26, the administration declared swine flu a public health emergency, allowing the shipment of roughly 12 million doses of flu-fighting medications from a federal stockpile to states in case they eventually needed them. At the time, there were 20 confirmed cases in the U.S. of people recovering easily. There was no vaccine against swine flu, but the CDC had taken the initial step necessary for producing one.
