cdc’s staggering sluggish response and the testing issue are going to be microscopically dissected and certainly politicized once this first wave passes.
my main theory on testing is this is their fema/katrina moment, when they are shown to be a bureaucracy actually unable to effectively do their job when it actually needs to be done.
some of the response choices are going to go straight to the administration, though. what advice and projections was he given?
Keep in mind that Europe is going through the identical process—this is a western culture problem, not a single country stupid bureaucracy problem.
