How about we forget the messenger. Then evaluate whether an idea/guideline/order/et al has merit (or not).

The president is in a no win position. If he tells the states what to do....they come back and yell he has no right to tell them what to do. If he provides the guidelines and states now you states implement as you see fit for your specific situation measuring your state of readiness....they come back and yell he is not doing enough.

The current phasing and measuring by state to be implemented by those who run the states is the common sense approach. Eliminates the one size fits all plans. Puts the governor in the position to do what he and his cohorts deem appropriate for their state.

We could get through this national emergency more quickly if the politics and partisan poisoning were set aside.

Totally agree. We are a large country and all states do not have the same situation going on with Covid. Governors are elected to function advocate for their states. Our forefathers planned for our Democracy to work this way, with the Federal Government over looking and assisting as needed. Great point BTKid. Always enjoy your smarts.
