Yes, they are extremely difficult to watch and because of the necessity for stroking his ego it puts the input of the experts in question. Are they spinning the truth? Rather than flat say they disagree with something are they holding back? I continue to watch hoping the government will take a universal stand on what the states should do. The government needs to centralize distribution based on urgent needs for supplies and stop states and the government from outbidding each other and running up the cost of a mask, for instance, from $.85 to $7.00. As it is stands states are most likely ordering far more than they guess they will ever need as a precaution or stockpiling. Bulk shipments of supplies could go to distribution centers like those of Walmart which are in every state. Break them down and use Walmart trucks to get them where they need to go. Amazon could be another option.
I don't agree that we need to focus restrictions on the hot spots. All that means is there will be more and more hotspots and the spread of the virus will be faster. We need universal restrictions and that will only happen if the government mandates them. If the states want more stringent restrictions that's fine but this wait and see what happens when we know what will happen is crazy to me.
