The governors of the three states forming alliances on the two coasts and the midwest are favoring a strategy that saves lives.

It may not be quite that simple, but that's the best I can come up with.

The White House strategy is/has been to remain ahead of it so to speak.

Then why is their primary action inaction?  Why have they not been pushing for testing, isolation, testing, PPE or especially testing?  They are way behind by the standards of the world, the coastal press, or the three governor's alliances.

He's done everything he can do as President at this point. It takes time for multiple systems to adjust. It takes time establish manufacturing that isn't present and time to manufacture goods that aren't present that a LARGE country with 325 million citizens needs to better protect itself during a global pandemic and it takes time to gather information and data about unknown diseases and establish viable/workable guidelines as scientists do their jobs developing new vaccines and effective treatments and so forth in a record amount of time. As I've mentioned to you before, your values don't seem to be as practical or as realistic and as flexible as our values these days.

I mean, all I'd like to see from our blue governor is a goal to meet/achieve instead of words that comfort and moving goal posts and extensions of shutdown dates and so forth. Me, I'm a professional tradesman who probably makes as much if not more income than an average run of the mill engineer or lawyer or civil servant these days. Gee, if I knew what I know now starting out, I'd be a multimillionaire out playing golf while living while living in one of my other homes like your rich are doing right now instead of wasting time posting here with you and posting my thoughts about you and your posts. Like I said, I've got some work to do like normal ( not nearly as much as last year at this time but that's to be expected with most of the country not working like normal and most of today's media still focused on and still driving fear campaigns to help old happy, go lucky Grandpa Joe get elected). As I've mentioned, I won't be posting like usual next week. I have a living to make and people who are reliant upon my ability to do so.
