Lest nobody forgets. May the dead R.I.P.:

"Of Course the Trump Administration Ignored a Step-by-Step Guide to Fighting a Coronavirus-esque Pandemic
“It just sat as a document that people worked on that was thrown onto a shelf.”

Something you may have noticed over the past three years and change is that the Trump administration is completely incompetent. Given its inability to get through the day without screwing up seemingly straightforward matters, like not tweeting photos of special-ops forces currently in war zones, it was probably always going to be too much to ask that it have any earthly clue how to fight a pandemic. Still, if provided with a step-by-step guide re: what to do about an emerging infectious disease—as Team Trump was!—one might have hoped that the literate ones in the bunch could at least read the playbook and follow its directions. Apparently, though, that too was too big an ask.

Politico reports that in 2016, the Obama administration created a 69-page National Security Council playbook that included hundreds of tactics and policy decisions to “prevent, slow, or mitigate the spread of an emerging infectious disease threat.” So simple one would think even Donald Trump could follow it, the guide asks questions like “Is there sufficient personal protective equipment for health care workers who are providing medical care? If YES: What are the triggers to signal exhaustion of supplies? Are additional supplies available? If NO: Should the Strategic National Stockpile release PPE to states?”...."
