Boomer Champions of the Coronapocalypse
#1
The COVID-19 pandemic has been rough on the President, as he is temperamentally unfit for executive leadership of a nation-state in the first place, and not good at coping with the pressure of daily press briefings about a relentless crisis. But he does seem to at least have tamed the press, and gathered a team that understands his need for deference and loyalty, which means they have a good chance of lasting through the crisis. 

The pandemic, however, has allowed other members of his generation to demonstrate their strong leadership skills, sometimes in concert with the President, and sometimes on their own, despite what is coming out of the White House. I'm thinking of Boomers such as-

Mike Pence (b. 1959) - Vice President and chairman of the White House Coronavirus Task Force
Deborah Birx (b. 1956) - response coordinator for the same task force
Andrew Cuomo (b. 1957) - Governor of New York state (whom people are jokingly calling the actual President)

And I have been impressed with my governor, who is probably not getting the same level of exposure-

Tom Wolf (b. 1948) - Governor of Pennsylvania

Please add more as you think of them.
