Trump adopted their mitigation recommendations in mid-March approximately 6 weeks after they were issued. Their recommendations are the same ones Fauci has recommended. Their the same recommendations Governor Kemp and the most other states have adopted. The same recommendations Trump is pointing to as to why we can reopen the economy.
You claim you have followed this thread so you should already be aware as I have already documented their recommendations and when they made them.

No, you didn't get my position correct, as usual. Putting all your eggs in one basket as they did contributed to our poor response. Especially when there was already several commercial tests already available. The leadership shown from Trump appointees within the HHS, NIH, and the CDC has been sadly lacking.

Not sure of the act associated with him saying "he's seen some goo things" Did me mandate folks to use it and I missed that?
Trump directed the purchase of 29 million doses of hydroxychloroquine and told the public, "What have you got to lose?"
Quote:Yeah, that one's quite generic. I find his team to combat this to be well qualified.
Really? The secretary of Health and Human Services is a Big Pharm lawyer and lobbyist. And he has been replaced by Pence whose track record at combating disease is strike against him rather than a vote of confidence. Jared has no qualifications or experience in health care services or how to respond to a pandemic.
