Government For Greater Good, Not Only For Wealthy — Re: Covid-19

In the wake of a fearful Ebola Crisis, President Barack Obama created the National Security Council directorate for global health and security and bio-defense. The NSC unit was purposed to continually analyze potential pandemic threats and help develop contingencies to prevent a sudden impact upon the US population.
In 2018, with an irresponsible penchant to undo anything the Obama Administration had created, the Trump Administration disbanded this important pandemic response team. This decision is rapidly becoming one of the worse decisions any president has made during the Communications Age.
The NSC pandemic response team would have readied the nation all kinds of ways. It would have helped assure all US public health systems were at the top of their game, that the nation was prepared with pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, procedures, contact tracing and quarantining capability and that all warning communication systems functioned at an early top-notch level.

At-Risk Populations
The public should have intermediately been assured they could get testing at no cost and on demand. Targeting a rapid response to the at-risk population with low immune systems such as the elderly living in nursing homes or congregated living facilities, those sharing medical rides to and from a hospital or those standing in line at methadone clinics would have been, and remains, extremely helpful.
