I think that partly has to do with CDC overreach. For instance, CDC mandated an eviction moratorium. You can agree with the moratorium, but is that really something the Center for Disease Control should be involved in?

Also, some nursing schools have seen record applications, suggesting people actually want to help. You provide no scale for that 250 public health officials.

To be clear, Trump gave them that power through executive order: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/trump-gives-cdc...

It would be interesting to know why the CDC was chosen as the mechanism for this policy.

Was it Trump's (or any other president's) power to delegate away?
