The reality is, however, State governments responded a lot better than the Federal government, as was intended. I praise Operation Warp Speed, but this whole experience has proven the need for “civilian oversight” from the actual citizenry. “All politics is local,” and governors are a lot easier to hold to account than any federal official.

Like you I personally applaud anyone who double masks.
Yeah I agree that generally local is better but few or no states have the fed's resources for research, funding, and organizing something as complex as pandemic response, or something like warp speed. At the very least the fed needs to provide good data so localities can make informed (vice political or hysterical decisions).
