"The plan has to start with responding effectively to the immediate medical crisis and ultimately lead to the widespread availability and administrati on of a vaccine."
Done.
"First, we have to get the number of new cases of the disease down signific antly."
DUH! This has been discussed Ad Nauseaum.
"President Trump needs to use his full powers under the Defense Production Act to fight the disease with every tool at our disposal."
Done.
"For more Americans to go back to their jobs, the president needs to do bet ter at his job."
How can the President do better? Be very specific - "do better" means nothi ng.
"We should be running multiple times the number of diagnostic tests we? ??re performing right now. And we should be ready to scale up a second form of testing: rapid serology tests to tell who has already been infected with the coronavirus and has antibodies."
What ISN'T being done that could be done to get testing rates up? Most impo rtantly is getting ACCURATE tests, as inaccurate tests are worse than no te sts at all.
"This isn?t rocket science; it?s about investment and execu tion. We are now several months into this crisis, and still this administra tion has not squarely faced up to the ?original sin? in its failed response ? the failure to test."
WHAT investment would you make that ISN'T being made now? The US is testing more than ANYOTHER country in the world, so execution has been exemplary.
"Third, we have to make sure that our hospitals and health care system are ready for flare-ups of the disease that may occur when economic activity ex pands again."
Done. Emergency hospitals are being dismantled because projected need were much higher than what actually materialized.
"Make no mistake: An effective plan to beat the virus is the ultimate answe r to how we get our economy back on track. So we should stop thinking of th e health and economic responses as separate. They are not."
Pres. Trump has reiterated: safety is paramount and supersedes economic iss ues.
"Once we have taken these steps, we can begin to reopen more businesses and put more people back to work. Things will not go back to ?normal ? right away. As public health experts have said, we should expect activity to return gradually, with sites like offices and stores reopening before arenas and theaters."
DUH! Tell us something that ISN'T being done!
Bottom line: this is NO PLAN - it is just a bunch of platitudes that state the obvious.
