you are right...trump has poisoned the water hole and the republicans will continue to dump more poison in to keep their faithful from ever doing anything to help get this crisis under control.
I sort of agree but there is immense room for improvement going forward. The time to really address it and get out in front of it was February, March and April. That window of opportunity was squandered irreparably. But we at least will have the opportunity now for science to be listened to, repair the federal infrastructure meant to support the response and to receive more cohesive and consistent messaging from our leaders. Hopefully that will allow many to transition back to reality. The crackpots and deniers can now be marginalized rather than reinforced and supported by an inept administration.
I'd say for starters, the CDC could have it's muzzle removed and that exact question could be asked to real experts and then a response could be evaluated, coordinated and acted on. Further intervention will then be guided by data, while utilizing the knowledge from the years of training by the best professionals in the field. Not the Scott Atlas's of the world.
Well, either one of those dorks would be attacked immediately, we know that.
To start with, he acknowledges that it is a bad spot with no easy answers, but tell the American people that he is going to assemble teams of actual experts and listen to them, and have a "reality check" conversation with the country (whether it is an oval office address, SOTU, or just a press conference) in which we have an honest assessment of where we are.
