I don't think it's unreasonable at all to start discussions about it. Trump constantly misled the nation on this for weeks. There are people who were in the rooms with him who dumped stocks and bought stocks in companies who made masks.
This is going to kill more Americans than 9/11. There absolutely should be a commission to figure out what went wrong in our response here, and how we can fix it in the future. Politicians can multitask.
I agree that if they started having these commissions right now, it would be a bad look. But taking a look at our response to this and what went wrong is a formality and absolutely should happen.
Adam Schiff has been great. His tweet on this was: "After Pearl Harbor and 9/11, we looked at what went wrong to learn from our mistakes. Once we've recovered, we need a nonpartisan commission to review our response and how we can better prepare for the next pandemic. I’m working on a bill to do that."
What's wrong with that? Nothing.
I 100% think it's needed to look at what's wrong from start to finish, what went wrong and how we can do better in the future. But yes this is the wrong time for these discussions. This has a fairly short life span (at least the critical period) of only a few months. In the next 4 months it's very likely over 100,000 Americans will die from this.
We don't need people finger pointing and stripping each other of credibility further dividing a seriously divided nation.
Trump fucked up, and there's a very solid chance the Republicans lose the white house as well as power in the house because of it. And Trump has been spewing misinformation at a historic rate. But he seemingly has begun to change his tune recently. And we don't need anything that's going to add fuel to the partisan fire or strip leaders of their much needed credibility.
The biggest problem by a huge margin has been ignorant stupid freaking jerkoffs ignoring authoritys directions and warnings. Decreasing that credibility is only going to worsen it
