Agree that feds could have set a national guideline and 'strongly encouraged' certain actions via the federal purse (how about no HHS $$ unless state has indoor mask-wearing mandate?).  Also agree that we have had no federal "plan of action" at all.  A multi-trillion dollar expenditure to . . . nowhere in particular.

What actions would those have been? Here's Dr Fauci's opinion in mid February: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/heal...787209002/

So, the long serving experts advising the government were dead wrong from the outset. As were the WHO and the CDC, and the predictors from Washington. . . . .

Reluctant to post a contrarian view, as I've been summarily banned from the Covid forum and can't post there, and therefore expect to be banned from here as well. Ironically, the mottos from my alma maters are "Truth" and "The Winds of Freedom Blow". . . . .
