2. What a complete and utter mess.

They couldn't screw it up any worse if they tried. Oh, wait...

Dr. Susan Butler-Wu, an associate professor of clinical pathology at USC and the director of a microbiology lab, described confusion over reporting antigen test results as part of a disorganized national strategy that has been an “unmitigated disaster.”

“The virus doesn’t care what state it’s in — it’s a virus,” she said. “You have to have a standardized national approach, because we are one nation with open borders across our states.”

To Wasserman, the lack of direction and resulting confusion came down to a lack of federal leadership.

“A pandemic that kills the number of nursing home residents that this pandemic has killed requires clear federal direction,” he said.

Yep.
