He's claimed, "I'm a 'wartime president,'"
yet he's gone out of his way to ensure we CANNOT (perhaps ever?) know where the 'enemy' is hiding in otherwise-plain sight because he has -- from the very start --- deliberately prevented the government from testing and contact tracing anyone who might be infected so that asymptomatic individuals could be physically isolated away from their families and anyone else.
To wit: why did his government deliberately de-fund, dismantle, and dismiss the pandemic response teams in the NSC and throughout the government in 2018? The *job* of those folks was to have begun an all-of-government response as soon as NSC received credible Intel (possibly November 2019, in this case, but surely December) that a novel infectious agent had been reported somewhere in the world. With that bureaucracy in place, we might have had a functioning testing apparatus and operation in effect well before even South Korea.
But no! "The Kenyan" was responsible (in his eyes) for setting up those teams, so they had to be shut down.
Granted, I didn't join the military until my 50s (no prior service) and then only had four OCONUS deployments (each time, without a weapon), but even *I* know that deliberately ensuring we cannot know where the enemy is, and where the enemy is massing to strike next, is hardly a winnable 'wartime' strategy.

I would be very interested in hearing it.
Of letters you can put after your name 
Also an interesting combination of degrees, although IMO there is no conflict between belief in the divine and living a life guided by science. That which created us also gave us science to guide our understanding of this phase of our lives; it is wise, and faithful, to accept what science tells us is true.
My faith tells me all will be well in the end. Science, and much training in NBC warfare tells me to treat the virus with respect and be aware of infection vectors.
Be well and thank you
