Trump broke our US agencies and departments with the heads of those agencies fired by trump and leaving long time vacancies of heads and staff and a revolving door of temporary officials. Trump likes it that way, choosing "acting " officials, many or most with no experience the jobs require, saying they give him "flexibility". It should be no surprise that we now have a pandemic catastrophe with woefully inadequate leadership from trump and his Dunning-Kruger clubhouse.

We should not have the chaotic, uncoordinated, life-threatening distribution of medical supplies to the states. Instead of the Federal government doing it's job we have no centralized coordination for the distribution of equipment to hospitals. The states have had to cope with virus spread on their own with trump whining that the governors are "complainers", they'll have to get that gear themselves. Thankfully many state governors have been doing whatever they can to slow down the virus spread in their states. We should have had a federal wide stay home, social distancing, etc restrictions as those states which have not taken the virus spread seriously has allowed their states to explode with virus cases, particularly in rural trump country with few hospitals.

We should have had a mass wide spread testing structure early on and we still need that to get spread down. Much data is needed to learn how to better combat the virus. Trump wants to "open" up the country for business even though we haven't lessened the spread enough, hot spots will continue to pop up, and we can't have people out in crowds or back at work without knowing who is infected and who is not. A reliable vaccine is months or more likely a year or so away.

Trump is not the boss. Covid 19 is.
