Trump's Katrina?

These freak, powerful viruses may be much ado about nothing, or may be the new Black Plague. It would behoove Trump to do everything he can short of alarmism to rally the nation, to show the world and Americans that the government is doing all that it can to protect its people. This could become his Katrina. How can anyone stop this stuff at the border in an age of air travel and international commerce? I think he should offer about $4 billion dollars to that Israeli biomedical research company that already claims that it will have a coronavirus vaccine available in a few months. Could more dollars speed the research, brush aside the slow, ponderous FDA approval red tape, get more vaccines to trial or to the public as a last ditch resort? Trump has to lead from ahead and not from behind in a time like this or be blamed should coronavirus become the 2020 pandemic Spanish Influenza killing millions of people.
