Yes, timing was going to vary be state. There was zero reason for response criteria to do so as well. Actual leadership would have avoided Florida and Sturgis being cross-border super spreaders, but the coward in the White House thought he would be better off trying to avoid accountability.
Yes, our size and diversity makes it a much bigger task, and we may still have not done very well, but we - meaning our federal leadership - did not try.

If it's near impossible even if we tried, what did we lose from having not tried?
He's a coward, and he's playing this for political gain, but the dice were rolled long ago. We had no infrastructure for testing and creating it out of thin air once this pandemic started was impossible. Trump hasn't failed because of his reaction to the crisis. He failed because his administration did nothing to try to make us prepared for it.
It's like climate change. He sucks on climate change. But the policies that needed to be implemented to address climate change had to be implemented long ago. He should be criticized for making it worse, but you can't attack a current administration for a lack of policies that had to be implemented decades ago.
