How about a member of the cabinet like the Surgeon General????
It is my belief that more than any other kind of smart person, a physician is needed now to coordinate all of the efforts on THIS ISSUE. Many physicians are in the top one percent of our population in intelligence and they are certainly as smart if not smarter than most lawyers, and many of them too, have attended fine schools like Georgetown and Harvard. It shows that even the POTUS no matter WHO he is CAN be lacking in some forms of knowledge and connections to all kinds of expertise.
I think that we are being literally thrown to the lions.
What we need now more than anything else is for someone in the White House to realize what clean and dirty mean in a medical setting and keep the dirty away from the clean or many of us are going to die.
