The facts are facts .

I ’ve worked in salvaging bankrupt healthcare entities .
The WH response has been pathetic and incompetent.
Not stopping the overseas case loads from infecting Americans is
reckless. Why no one can do that tells me there is no concern for
the spread . This virus with its extremely high ICU stays and medical costs will bankrupt hundreds of hospitals and insurance companies . Look at Italy right now .
We are a few weeks out from Italy’s fate thanks to this incompetence on many levels.

It's not incompetence.

I know it's tempting to accuse them of that.

But a lot if it, is Omoeba-era regulations and holdover never Trumpers throughout the CDC and FDA.

But the medical spread aspects of coronavirus, aren't the only things on his plate.

China has supply-chain issues which affect a number of our industries. China has financial issues due to their economy freezing up, which affects everything from their internal politics (what if there is a "palace coup", remember they have nukes...), to the price of oil (OPEC tried to raise prices, and Saudi Arabia and Russia both said "screw that" which melted down our stock market), to the demand for US Treasuries (demand was so high that for a bit on Monday, 10-year T-bills were paying 0.41%) Our economy is being hit by supply chain, the total meltdown of the travel and hotel industries, and the loss of jobs in fracking; there are further effects from Mom-and-Pop businesses (say, all those around Universities which just canceled classes) shutting down; social distancing could take out restaurants. And that makes for a lot of people with mouths to feed and no income.

Then you have the political considerations of all this.

He's got to juggle all of these things at the same time, and *appear* to be doing it effortlessly, or the wolves start attacking. God knows what else they've thrown at him for 3 years while the economy was doing well, this is how the Dems operate, by hate and destruction.

He should've pulled the trigger on Q about 2 months ago, and started the military tribunals then. If he tries going after the Cabal, even in totally mild ways, they'll scream it's the lashing out of an unstable loser driven over the edge by his incompetence on Corona.
