THREAD: Talked to a Source at BARDA (Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority), which is under HHS, that develops medical countermeasures in responses to threats such as infectious diseases, such as Ebola, Zika and #coronavirus.
Source says there are incredible scientists who care deeply. However, they’ve been “handicapped.” They've been monitoring the response for a while, “but we didn’t get the go ahead until recently."

What’s happening tonight with international arrivals at many U.S. airports is a microcosm of the Trump administration’s response to #coronavirus: It simply doesn’t seem to have occurred to anyone that this late-breaking travel ban would create a huge surge of returning travelers.
And as bad as that mess-up is in general, it’s a potential disaster here given that the whole point of this enterprise is social distancing—the opposite of what’s happening. By bungling this one thing, the administration has only exacerbated the risk of spread between travelers.— Steve Vladeck (@steve_vladeck) March 15, 2020

The coronavirus is highlighting in the starkest possible way long-standing problems in the US. This includes governance. In no other peer country are leaders so blatantly disregarding medical advice. In the US, it has become a point of GOP pride to reject expertise.
