General Semonite should be put in charge of this!

He is positive, execution - oriented, and no bullshit. He would be a calming force. He EXUDES competency!

He will go on TV and lay out a clear plan in concise language.

Put the Corps behind him in conjunction with FEMA and the States. Give them MORE responsibility!

Each governor appoints a director as part of our National COVID response. They work with Semonite, but he's in charge.

We CENTRALIZE a location for information on testing, results, etc. Put it all in one place. Make it accessible.

We establish a clear protocol for federal government to issue supplies to the states from the National Stockpile. We can put trigger points in the plan. Identify the risks. Have contingencies to deal with them.

We establish supply lines and processes to move equipment between states where they are needed most. If Iowa has extra respirators now that California needs, get them out there. Pull them back when needed, or re-supply as new ones come on-line.

And SOMEBODY needs to get on TV and tell EVERYONE to wear a GODDAMNED mask!

The closest thing we have to a National Response is Trump being a bully every night and Jared the Eunuch babbling CEO "Power Words"!

FFS, assign a LEADER, get a PLAN, and EXECUTE the damned thing.

As a military guy, I would rather have a perfectly executed okay plan, than a great plan poorly executed.

It's been monkeys fucking a football for a month now!

ENOUGH! Jesus this is the poorest example of leadership I have ever seen.
