Politicians in South Korea stayed out of the covid 19 response & left it to scientists and professionals. 
South Korea ramped up production of PPE in February and rolled out a national plan for testing, contact tracing & isolation. Meanwhile, Trump was lying to us but giving Bob Woodward the facts.
Nancy Messonnier rang the alarm early on in February saying parents should ask their children’s schools about closures; businesses should consider telecommuting options to their employees, & hospitals might need to look into expanding telehealth services. statnews.com/2020/02/25/cdc…
After a MICU stretch I finally saw #TotallyUnderControl. One line that stuck with me is there are times when politicians need to get out of the way. @alexgibneyfilm shows that a key failure of the WH was the inability to cede control and let the experts manage the pandemic.
The film does a very good job of taking the frustrations voiced by so many people and bringing them into a laser focus on the root causes. It should serve as a record of how our response went wrong and how to avoid the same mistakes for the next pandemic.
The film highlights the importance of public servants. People like @RickABright & @DrNancyM_CDC should be commended for the stand they took. At their personal/professional expense, they put the needs of the country first to tell the truth & speak out. They are heroes in my book.
