Honest answer. There is a LOT the Federal government can do. SHOW LEADERSHIP on the issue, by implementing the ICS system.
I worked in emergency response for 35 years. COVID is a emergency response, the biggest one we have faced in this country.
Not a fan of Bush 2, but he sent millions of dollars to train first responders and the medical community in emergency management. The lesson did not take with the medical community.
Trump blew it by not declaring a Federal emergency. He needed to set up a Incident Command System structure for managing the pandemic.
The only time he did it was for the ventilator's, using the hospital ships, and maybe the development of the vaccine.
Anyway, he should have fired Fauci, head of CDC, and the Health and Human Services Director.
Biden is doing even WORSE than Trump. Trump gave him the vaccine and more people have died under Biden than Trump who didn't have a vaccine. How do you manage doing that???
The testing fiasco under Biden is unbelievable. Two years into this thing and Biden still does not have a plan for testing!!!
Biden should fire Fauci and the head of CDC. Somethings just don't change.
If we are lucky we will get out of this just like we did in 1918. The pandemic running its course and ALL the things we did being pretty much a failure. We didn't learn anything since 1918.
I am looking forward to the books that will come out on the pandemic. Really interested if anybody in the emergency management field that got involved with COVID writes one.
I honestly, cannot believe how mis-managed this thing has been over the past two years. And the management is getting WORSE not better. Biden just last week said "it wasn't a Federal problem". Are you kidding me??
We better hope that the current variant is the last one. Otherwise, I fear that we will start unraveling as a society and with it the loss of governmental authority.
Never a good thing in an emergency.
