Agree with you. Trump did say to scale testing 750,000 per week. But a lot more needed to be done beside testing. You gonna need to have a unified system in place of monitor and tracking like you have in South Korea in order for people to have confident in moving about until a vaccine developed and deployed. One expert estimated such a system would cost 500 billions to implement, yes half a trillion for our size of society. Then you will have privacy issues with data and using your cellphone as a tracker and notifications covid positive or when you come in contact with people that are positive. That?s still cheaper than having to isolate and social distance and a depression economy. Then the time frames it takes to get the system up and useful is another hurdle.
Opening up and have no vaccine or a concrete monitor plans is a disaster.

Agree. I?m not optimistic about this country?s ability to implement anything. But really, if 60 NBA and MLB billionaires who have every incentive to play games and access to the smartest people/tools/resources can?t figure out a safe way to do it, what chance does our government have.

Well not sure using sports is the best comparison.
Not sure it would make sense to have 20,000 - 70,000 people shoulder to shoulder without a treatment/vaccine.
The sports leagues can?t move forward in part because local governments may not be letting them. Also, the sports leagues are very sensitive to public backlash and don?t want to alienate their fans. I can see the news and Twitter world start bashing them that they only care about money and are people in danger, etc.
They just have not found a path that they would not get criticized for. They have plenty of ideas in place and ready to execute.

Anybody care to compare 2018 CDC Budget to U.S. Defense budget?
CDC saving lives, Defense DoD, grease the Fat Cat. What an astonishing disparity. And when the shit hits the fan they get even more bailout. These are so call National Security industries? When did we ever launch nuclear yet we keep on building em?. Space force go, go save lives.

If Trump said we are doing the best we can at the beginning instead of blaming the Democrats or down play the virus as a cough. I think people would be understanding.
For example GWB did not blame the democrats after 9/11.
It takes a leader to lead a country and someone who thinks before he talks.

There is hopes.
Apple and Google unveiled a rare partnership to add technology to their smartphone platforms that will alert users if they have come into contact with a person with COVID-19. People must opt in to the system, but it has the potential to monitor about a third of the world?s population.
The technology, known as contact-tracing, is designed to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus by telling users they should quarantine or isolate themselves after contact with an infected individual.

Not to sound too paranoid... well, maybe,... but this COVID CLEAR ID seems familiar in some ways:
Rev. Ch 13, v 16 and 17
And the second beast required all people small and great, rich and poor, free and slave to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark - the name of the beast or the number of it's name -
Something like this could happen - think ration cards of the 1940's - and I'm sure the same thinking came across then as it does today. When a roll of Charmin has morphed into a standard Coin of the Realm, stranger things are becoming the norm.
