TL;DR:
- the CDC leader is not charismatic
- the CDC has 3,000 staff, but no mgmt.
- the CDC dropped the ball on notifying local officials of who was getting off airplanes
- the CDC has no data science coordination comparable to a random high school student
- the CDC was slow to do anything involved with testing, and contaminated whatever it did make
- the CDC appears to have gotten some information in Jan., but failed to execute until March (since the Wuhan corona lab is funded by the US, we should have known in mid-Dec. or sooner.)
- the CDC is hapless.
This was all predictable had the GSA, or any senior leader, audited them. I don't see their failure as funding-related - they're just an aimless bureaucracy.
