2. Osterholm has the ability to totally freeze out those spewing ignorance...

more so than about anyone I've ever met and convey so much with just a look. I'd love to see him get a chance to take on some of Trump's sycophants, including Dr. Deborah Birx, although he might feel the need to be a tiny bit more collegial with her. He'd destroy Trump and all his ignorant staffers and pundits, though. Yes, he can be arrogant, but that is what it takes right now.

4. Right now the national plan is to push it down to the counties

That gives Trump an additional 3,000 scapegoats to blame for his failures.

Outside forces who might think it's an easy proposition to tear us apart might not realize that we are 50 individual states, each with their own layers of representative government. Some states are easier to conquer than others probably, but many (most?) are no pushovers. Case in point, Gov. DeWine of Ohio, an (R) who has stepped up and done a surprisingly good job for the people.
