He doesn't have to use his power to declare them as critical when the bulk of the American people know that they're critical. I suppose you could vote to have a bunch removed from the front line (the doctors and nurses and other care givers) people and have them distributed among yourselves instead of them. I mean, it's perfectly legal to do that if feel that your more important than them and those that they're trying not to infect and those who have tested positive that have to wear them along with being self quarantined these days.
Any other human being holding the office of POTUS would have established a Pandemic Response Team lead by someone fully empowered to act, and used the Defense Procurement Act aggressively to get testing in place and procure PPE and other needed supplies. But that would require admitting that he wasn't ready from the go, and the Orange One admits to no failures, real or otherwise.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
