I've got to imagine they are getting a ton a disparate data, and it's ugly. Fauci-for better or worse—is truly the face of this COVID-19 action taken. Hoover did a ton to stave off the Great Depression, yet it still wasn't enough. Hoovervilles stuck to him even to this day: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooverville https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooverville

And he saved more lives than anyone else in history, via his food relief initiatives. 10 million people in France and Belgium alone. Another 10 to 20 million in Russia. He's largely the reason the US commonly represents half of all global food aid to this day. https://www.cornellcollege.edu/history/courses/stewart/his260-3-2006/01%20one/befr.htm https://www.cornellcollege.edu/history/courses/stewart/his26...

  This was well before he became president. There he proved that the challenges of making changes in govt, helping people survive was more than he could make politically. I've often wondered why he was such a prisoner of his political environment. In effect the extreme failure of the govt before FDR opened the way for a large political change that could do more extreme changes when FDR and the dems came to power in 1933. It kiiind of resonates with today a bit, doesn't it?
