There seems to be so many extra layers within the US in terms of how they are able to mobilise their response. Private health care and private entities working with/for the government. The size of the country and the huge differences of population density and cultural behaviour in it. The state control working with government level, but with differing messaging or aims. The more partisan political aspect in getting a bill agreed. It all must hamper any speed they would like to work at when speed is the critical thing. The press conferences are disjointed with a group of people jostling on a small stage for a single podium giving the correct message of "social distance".

What do people think of the theory that Trump saying "but they have to be nice to us" about when he'll help New York is him telling Cuomo that the New York AG has to drop the investigation into Trump before he'll release emergency funds?
