It's during these kinds of crises that we see the weakness of our system of provincial quasi-sovereignty. This is exactly the time that we need a full-court press national response. It would help if we had a leader that had an interest in the welfare of the country's citizens rather than a tycoon whose primary interest is in the vacancy rate of his hotels, but alas….
Nobody in America prepared for the virus as we watched it tear through East Asia and Italy: not the Governors, not the President, not Congress, and not me. We are all responsible for failing to prepare for what was obviously coming, and we all got caught. The difference between the President and about half of the state governors is that once the virus hit their citizens, many of these governors swung into action, listened to the doctors and scientists, and shut everything down in order to halt the spread. What the President did was downplay the disease, flinch noticeably at every effort to combat or control the virus, attack reporters who pointed out his obvious lies, give himself rave reviews on his performance , blame everyone he could think of (except himself) for why bad things were happening, and push to stop the efforts to deal with the problem while the United States is still the country with the most known cases and deaths.
