Leadership is having vision to see these things and strategize them. This has been going on in the world since December last year and the WHO declared it a worldwide pandemic in January. They already HAD that information and sat on their hands until March.
Washington should have started with suppliers back then. The folks who make the essential medical equipment and the folks who make the household cleaning goods that were going to be needed and had them increase their production to the max back then. Then as the first cases began to appear they should have started with the public service home hygiene and hunkering down strategies. They could have done them on a rolling basis as cases began to appear around the country.
That would have slowed the progression of the disease. That might have kept the economy rolling even if it slowed down. That would have forestalled the panic for household goods. That would have prepared online businesses to increase hiring to handle the demand coming. THAT is the point of government: a cohesive comprehensive ability to act when events are too large for individuals and local communities. And he still has states and localities trying to outbid one another for essential medical equipment in shop supply. THAT is what PR and lying to people about how he's got this in hand NEVER was going to be able to handle and what has exacerbated this problem all around the country.
Vote for whoever you want in November -- that's your right and your obilgation -- but OPEN YOUR EYES and see what is going on. This country is more vulnerable today than it's been in my 73 year lifetime and who is at the helm as someone decides to take advantage of this vulnerability will MATTER.
but it’s a good idea.
