The biggest problem isn't what Trump is doing NOW... though he really could go a step further and finally just order a national shelter in place order for 2 weeks. He hasn't done that. He should also just finally actually invoke the Defense Production Act officially and use the power of the Presidency to manufacture much needed medical supplies. He complains about "not being a shipping clerk," but he could really take charge and make stuff happen. But no, my biggest problem is how he totally screwed up in the beginning with the testing and before the beginning by getting rid of the Pandemic preparedness team simply because his ego can't stand having something from Obama's legacy he just can't handle. Oh, and those pointing to polls, overall, I would say Trump has been doing a lot better over the last few weeks. I don't approve, but I certainly think the moment has forced him to rise above the sewer system he's dwelled in for so long. Just because I feel better about how he's handled things over the last few weeks doesn't mean I forgot everything else. Another lie. Trump Shut Down the CDC’s Pandemic Department! Do I even need to point out how virulent and widespread this talking point has been? Sigh: No, the White House didn’t ‘dissolve’ its pandemic response office. I was there. It has been alleged by multiple officials of the Obama administration, including in The Post, that the president and his then-national security adviser, John Bolton, “dissolved the office” at the White House in charge of pandemic preparedness. Because I led the very directorate assigned that mission, the counterproliferation and biodefense office, for a year and then handed it off to another official who still holds the post, I know the charge is specious. … It is true that the Trump administration has seen fit to shrink the NSC staff. But the bloat that occurred under the previous administration clearly needed a correction. Defense Secretary Robert Gates, congressional oversight committees and members of the Obama administration itself all agreed the NSC was too large and too operationally focused (a departure from its traditional role coordinating executive branch activity). As The Post reported in 2015, from the Clinton administration to the Obama administration’s second term, the NSC’s staff “had quadrupled in size, to nearly 400 people.” That is why Trump began streamlining the NSC staff in 2017. The reduction of force in the NSC has continued since I departed the White House. But it has left the biodefense staff unaffected[.] … It is this reorganization that critics have misconstrued or intentionally misrepresented. If anything, the combined directorate was stronger because related expertise could be commingled. In other words, it wasn’t dissolved, it was streamlined. 1 1

He took you to church sir, because when you asked him what he personally was doing....he answered. The appropriate response to that crazy Northwestern Boise Boy Idahoan would be: "That's awesome and the world would be a better place if everyone tried to pitch in like that. (You could also ask him why when I read his posts, it sounds in my head like he would look like Tim Graham. It's odd.) 1 1

Because if some twit in a position of authority & credibility really is recommending that people leaving the largest concentration of corona virus in the country not to self quarantine upon leaving, he is setting people up to unwittingly kill their new neighbors. Trump should put a dome over NYC like they did in the Simpson's movie. 1 1 1

Friday marks the 2-week anniversary of NY getting more serious, as March 13 was the last day where NYC was still fully open for business & contact (even though many people started staying away midweek) It's logical that NY cases grew at a high rate leading up to this week (New Rochelle patient was diagnosed in early March), and if you subscribe to Leavitt's prognostication, the rates should start falling after Saturday. The absolute numbers should still be high given the base, but growth should slow as well as the death rate. Keeping fingers crossed. 1

It took a while for Italy's stats to start dropping and I'm not certain (you could confirm) that the measures were nearly as strict as in Italy. We just hit 1300 cases here and we've been shutdown for close to 10 days.
