For instance (if memory serves) the forum member who posted the article slammed Trump earlier in this thread for listening to his CDC over the WHO. In this move he appears to not what to regulate what states do. It does appear that his taskforce, of which the Chief of the CDC is a member, has released more vague guidelines; thereby, allowing states more flexibility.
Hell my state Governor is being applauded and protested for his state level decision and I disagree with his politics. But I support him 100% in this and think he's wanting to do what's best for the economy and its people. It's a delicate balance and there's going to be folks that find fault in any decision that is made; because there is no 100% "correct" answer. So all answers can have holes shot nin them.

Relied exclusively on a faulty CDC test instead contracting with commercial tests until mid-March. Just two examples.
Disbanding the NSC's Pandemic Response Team responsible for coordinating a federal response and eliminating CDC positions within China to monitor emerging diseases? Just three and four examples.
Pushing an unproven drug combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin against medical advice with can result in fatal arrhythmias. Example five.
Putting people in charge of positions of importance with little to no experience or credentials because they married his daughter or contributed to his campaign. Example six.
This is a good example of why I have you're BS on ignore. Because you just make shit up.
It is an easily verifiable FACT the CDC coronavirus test was a failure. The CDC didn't tell Trump not to approve commercial coronavirus tests that were already available and being used in other countries around the globe. The CDC doesn't have that type of authority. Neither does the FDA. The WHO doesn't have a damn thing to do with this topic as they never told the Trump administration which tests to use or not use. So clearly I never slammed Trump for "listening to his own CDC over the WHO." That is a lie and you're a damn liar.

Now guess which tests the White House uses to test Trump?
Quote:The White House is continuing to use the rapid Abbott Labs test, which provide results in about 15 minutes.

Abbott Labs didn’t get emergency use authorization for their test in the US from the FDA until mid-March after discovering the false positive problem with the CDC test. At which point they needed to produce and ship the test in the US. Because Abbott’s manufacturing plant in China doesn’t export that test to the US.
Ironically, one of the commercial test which was used in China as early as January that the Trump administration failed to approve until mid-March.
