3) Failing to lead. We have many disparate and often competing regional medical systems trying to get supplies that he should have been using every last bit of his power to raise that baseline in order to keep the apex of that logarithmic curve below it.

If this is our primary strategy, then we should have a federal government and administration directing us toward a higher baseline healthcare capacity.
4) Not getting infected himself.
