I never suggested CDC wasn't central to policy. How about CDC doesn't administer policy at the state level. Is that better? There's really no argument here. It's the reason we have 50 different plans of action to deal with covid19 right now. Perhaps if it *was* nationalized and in the scope of federal power, we'd benefit from that cohesive strategy. That's a constitutional issue though.

If we compare a Prius to an Airbus 320 by scaling the passenger space up to the level of a jumbo jet, can we expect both to perform similarly? Vietnam and the U.S. are two vastly different countries.

People haven't suffered enough yet to realize this. Not even at 200,000 dead.

What difference does that make to the rebuttal I posted to metoque’s misleading claim (Requoted below for reference)

Ans: none. So why would you reinforce his ignorant comment as you did? The CDC absolutely is central to policy making across the states. Whether they are the “administrative” arm in each state is immaterial to the point.

That said, I agree it would seem preferable if CDC policy was nationalized.

I didn't see it as misleading at all.
The shutdown E/O, masks, etc. have all been administered at the state level and those are the things which have had a tangible effect on the outcome of covid (or so it's claimed). There's nothing controversial about that but ymmv.

Each subsequent attempt to put the most restrictive measures back in place will lead to more and more resistance. This will be undone by sheer attrition. At the rate we're going, there's no clear path which the state has lain out to make this right again. The cycle will just continue to repeat. Just curious too, where are seeing only 50% compliance with masks? My observation is closer to 90% + if not more.
