Well, the Indian fellow seemed to be a mouthpiece that sent recommendations out to state entities for their lockdowns, their mandatory jobs, etc. But they mostly relied on the CDC and FDA for ongoing (and printed) guidelines.

I wonder why Trump didn't nominate Ben Carson in 2017. If he's still on his hind legs, he'd be the easiest confirmation ever and the first black, male, authentically intelligent SG in a long time.

Yes. And Jocelyn Elders.
