Travel restrictions.
Have the CDC meet with local hopitals to take an inventory of equipment and what they might need.
Have the CDC meet with state representatives about what actions may be needed if the virus spreads
Ramp up production of masks
Work on creating test sets
Start work looking for a vaccine
All of which was started in early February. Some by the government, some by private companies. But all started at an early time.
I was brought in not because I knew about public health or pandemics but because I had had experience in making the different arms of the government work together and making them work effectively and quickly.
The high-level lessons applicable today are, first and foremost, let the medical experts be the touchstone of the responses—let them be the people who are formulating this strategy, let them be the spokespeople.
And, secondly, use every power that the federal government has to harness that direction into effective action, whether that’s getting the right equipment produced and put in the right places, whether it’s getting the right people mobilized and put in the right places. The federal government has vast power to do things if a president is willing to use it effectively.
He is a lawyer/politician and was Obama’s Ebola Czar.
Particularly interesting are his claims on Ziemer and the NSC team. I liked what he claimed that team would have been doing had they remained in the White House.
He is obviously more pol than lawyer.
So far all of you claiming Biden is his own man…
These claims and comparisons are absurd.
Everybody in the positions did what they understood to be the right thing to do.
Except We…the people. We were told how to reopen, we didn’t do it. We were told how to slow the spread, we did it ok then we stopped. We’re still not doing it very well. And nobody can make us. We have to do it ourselves.
I can’t stop anyone from making these stupid claims that “Trump killed 170k Americans.”
Biden plagerized the entire Trump response in his speech last night.
I hope the RNC has a good number of the private companies the Task Force mobilized to explain how much red tape was cut and what an effective job was done.
Nobody knew what to expect.
What we did know was that we needed tests, PPE, and hospital care…Trump delivered.
You should like his claims on Ziemer and the White House team and why it was important they be on the NSC.
It’s exactly what I said they would have been doing. Being a Whole House Bubble Piercer…a hugely important role.
And if you think Klain was saying Fauci was “leading the effort” because he said the medical SMEs were the “touch points”, you fail to understand what is meant by “leading the effort”.
