Also, there is no confidence in our government to react swiftly these days. So we are forced to assume the government is non-functional, which generates a lot of speculative behaviors. We'll find out if any of it works, but it will be hard to unpack for a while.
We'll see, but I think this "lack of confidence" is much more an artifact of crappy reporting than crappy reactions by public health organizations. The test kit snafu seems like an unforced error though. It is going to be close, but it seems like test kit ramp up that is going on now will satisfy our needs. Fingers crossed.
