I recently re-discovered a letter I wrote to Kamala Harris in July of 2018 regarding the Trump administration’s failure to proactively prepare for an epidemic. I share this letter not because I think Trump could have stopped COVID-19 and definitely not because I wanted to be right, but because, by listening to experts like Anthony Fauci, we could have prevented many of the worst aspects of this emergency (e.g., week-long waits for tests, delays in establishing treatment centers, etc.) The best time to prepare was years ago but the next best time is now so please be safe friends!
