Bringing infected people in without separation from uninfected? Developing tests that are broken? Ignoring the virus and calling it a hoax?

Sometimes the BBC "OS" radio show does a good public service - Nuala had two wingnuts on (one right, one left) to discuss this topic (has the US government been successful in it's Covid 19 response?) the RWNJ cited this action as being part of the "successful" early action taken. And yes, the RWNJ guy whoever he was wanted to take the conversation down to "But Obama..." - fortunately Nuala wasn't having any of that. I wasn't paying full 100% attention as I was driving and doing other errands at the same time, so can't remember the segment precisely.
