A commission is a great idea, if you can depoliticize it.
To my way of thinking, the issued that have to be addressed have arisen since March 10th, when the threat was fully appreciated. Some solutions simply will not work in a country as pluralistic and fractious as this. South Korea, Taiwan, and Germany all have homogenous and - candidly - more docile populations.
But what could have been avoided if the absolutely unnecessary politicization of this problem. Whatever you might think of this or that approach, it should not be related to whom you intend to vote for, for President.
Although it takes two to tango, 99% of the blame lies with Trump. If ever it were necessary to rise above, it was here and now. But somehow he has factionalized and divided.
Which is the practical problem with a Commission. It HAS to evaluate Presidential behavior, which is the crux. I didn't find much to fault in the initial response to 19, because when I looked for seers anywhere, I didn't find them. The response since the crisis' exploded has been a disaster, at least in terms of national unity (a synonym for Presidential leadership.
Tough for a commission to address those issues in an election year

I wouldn't give you two cents for all your fancy rules if, behind them, they didn't have a little bit of plain, ordinary, everyday kindness - yeah, and a little looking out for the other fella, too.
