Serious question, even if dc drops the ball why can't states do something about it? USA is a federation after all and states are responsible for the welfare of individual citizens too?
- freeone3000 7y agoYou see a lot of individual states acting - Washington State has banned gatherings of more than 250 people, NY has placed a town under lockdown and the National Guard is distributing food, California has given up on quarantine and headed to mitigation... As you can see, without direction it's a bit of a mess.
- zamfi 7y ago> headed to mitigation Not for long, as this approach will clearly appear to be a disaster when mortality rates exceed 5% because of a lack of ICU care to handle the thousands of severe cases. The response will be swift, but two weeks too late.
- dantheman 7y agoCalifornia is bigger and richer than most countries - why would they need direction? Of course it'd be good if the CDC released some general guidance, and was doing better on providing stats, etc. But the States really need to handle things.
