  1. Realistically I think the US has no choice just like it would seem with most if not all Western European countries but to only try to lesson the damage and not overrun hospital capacities. In other words it's to late for most states to do anything else. Some states do have the option to get it under control if their current numbers are low but this isn't happening. Alarm bells should have sounded by the end of January when the US had less documented cases than Australia which given we are less than a tenth of your population and travel to and from China would be at least 5 times as great in the US using an extremely conservative guestimate. It would have been statistically about 1 in a million chance that Australia could have more cases. Also from looking at the CDC website it would seem to me that should be the organization to be monitoring and advising on testing under Ray Butler's section. The body that Fauci works for and has been a director of for 30 plus years seems to be more of a research body however there is some overlap with the CDC. I am wondering why no questions have been asked of Ray Butler and have to search the CDC website rather than see it on the news. Fauci and Butler both have a lot of explaining to do and in the end if Trump prevented them from doing their jobs properly they should say so but to me with the current information available all 3 are due credit and the fact no system existed to deal with such an issue is self evident at this point in time.
