This is exactly right. And it’s why I think Trump is deliberately making things worse. This isn’t just incompetence. It’s malevolence.

No federalization of the supply chain.

No national testing program.

No national closure and reopening standards.

No effort to lead the global response.

The problem isn’t that Trump’s COVID response has been flawed.

The problem is he’s mounted NO NATIONAL RESPONSE AT ALL.
