Covid-19 can't melt steel beams!

Nope, just kill 40x (so far) the number of people the molten beams killed. 

This is a great idea, and sorely needed at all levels. One key stakeholder would be to get former state governors (and to some degree mayors) involved, as they know the landscape but don't have anything at stake in criticisms of various states' management and mismanagement. Goose is right that day to day, on the ground, 90% of the heavy lifting has to come at the state and local level.

I will say this though: in the event that Trump is not reelected, I think the prospects for a bipartisan 9/11-style commission will be much, much higher, because his electoral defeat will give the GOP room to distance themselves. I can't see any universe a bipartisan commission could function with Trump in charge.
