re: The Democrats are principally running on COVID is ALL Trump's fault!

Now let’s compare that to the actions/statements from Democrat leaders?

Biden on January 31st - Trump is a racist for lock down
Pelosi - End of February, go to Chinattown

How about all the briefs to Congress and then running to Microphones saying “no big deal”. Or Fauci saying in late Jan/early Feb that we won’t have an issue.

Hindsight is 20/20 and it is easy to be an arm chair QB. So what would have Hiding Biden have done different?

how about a federal testing and tracing program.

the CDC couldn't handle creating a test initially. you think we could snap our fingers and they could handle a test/trace program? what kind of time frame do you think it would take the CDC to create the infrastructure to do this? remember, they couldn't even create a functional test for a month+

how about we have 1 program to test and trace instead of 50.

that would fail. the real manpower of our system is the state/local governments. the feds don't have the ability to undertake such a program, because that is how our system is built. we probably still wouldn't have a fully functional federal system up and running if that was the plan in March

also, each state (or hell, even localities within the states) are vastly different with incredibly different demographics, spread issues, healthcare capacities, etc. the "one size fits all" method would either be too authoritarian or too passive and that difference would literally occur within individual states. Louisiana is a great example of this in real time. Louisiana the STATE can't create a "one size fits all" system for our little state of 4M. but you think the feds can do this for a country 3000 miles wide, 1500 miles north-south (in just the continental US, mind you), with 330M people?

What was Biden proposing at the time? Kamala? Thanks. And please start in January.
