Yes, acting - that’s what I SAID.
But look, you’re missing my bigger point - I think trying to be too smart by half frankly.
I don’t have any faith in any government bureaucracy to do anything ever- and I was using the Surgeon General example to ironically point out that we actually DO have two big bureaucracies that are both redundant and ineffective. Having said that, IF A POTENTIAL PANDEMIC ISN’T A FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ISSUE - what would be in your mind?
