I'm not saying that everything has been handled correctly or that looking back, things could have been done differently. However, as someone who has made recommendations on how to run an institution during this pandemic, I can say that not a single one of my recommendations have been politically motivated. I'm not unique in that either.
By the way...Ebola virus would've very likely killed fewer people in the US than this has. Ebola virus is more difficult to transmit, it's easier to identify infected individuals, and those that have it generally aren't out mingling with everyone else. They're in bed...dying.
