@scottlange @emilynussbaum The federal government definitely messed up... but the New Yorker's coverage, among others, strongly suggests bureaucrats at the CDC and bad policies at the FDA were the biggest factors, not the political appointees (who have been awful in other ways, especially comms stuff) — PolitiTweet.org

@emilynussbaum The answer is of course yes, but also, I don't think there's anything any elected official including the president could have said to persuade the public or a majority of governors or mayors to go along with today-like measures that far back. At least not w/o working tests — PolitiTweet.org

@scottlange @emilynussbaum So in your preferred scenario, Trump would have told the subject experts at the CDC and FDA, *you're wrong about optimal protocol for developing and deploying virus tests, we're going with my gut*? Trump fails spectacularly often enough w/o stretching to lay this at his feet — PolitiTweet.org
