Its true? It's not just the US, France was less prepared than in 2018, and in 2018 was less prepared than in 2011.
After 2005 almost every rich country was stocking on essential medical equipemnt (like masks), had backup supplylines for medical drugs and had procedure in the airport in case of a pandemic (in France notably airport checkups and quarantine + antivirals). Those procedures alone in France were enough to limit the 2009 flu strain to 300 death (although the following years mortality data analysis seems to indicate 2 thousand early deaths)
I'm not putting this on any administration, this is a global trend in western countries.
