We can roughly sort countries into places that have handled coronavirus well and handled it badly, and the US is pretty clearly in the badly camp. But statements such as “the US has handled this the worst of any major country” are not really so obvious from the evidence. Why?

The corollary is that we have to elect officials that believe the federal government has a legitimate role in responding to such events. Otherwise a prepared response is pretty useless.

seasonal destinations should be maintained as spare capacity with the ability to accept either at risk populations or convalescing populations. We can test this with palm beach and mar a lago

Federalism is not the problem. A real leader would long ago have shamed and scared the governors into doing the right thing. The problem is Donald Trump.

Sure, but I've also found myself glad we do have a federalist system given the less-than-ideal response from the feds. In theory, if there were a good federal response too, we could sort of get the best of both worlds (i.e. a good default response + smart local customization).
