Doubtful. No government agency wants to publicly release info that someone might use to justify cutting back their appropriations...

2. It's fair to take credit for virus dissipation by doing ANYTHING when your predecessor has done nothing. The current benchmark is do nothing (or actually discourage basic, intelligent behavior) and get the current result.
3. I'm curious if this will be the political play on the right. Basic mitigation is finally put in place, virus numbers come down, and the right claims that it "ran its course"

I'm going to write my congressman and demand that we continue to do nothing. It's worked well to this point.
Nevermind. That's what we're going to do for the next 70 days anyway. Besides......I've been repeatedly assured that the virus dissipation was to occur on Nov 4.

Which nothing are you referring to?
The mobilization of military resources? The cutting of red tape to get a vaccine in record time? The travel restrictions placed on Chinese nationals? The invocation of the defense production act to get ventilators in production nearly overnight? The relocation of hospital ships to hard hit areas? Or the acknowledged support of state governments to move needed supplies from areas with excesses to areas with shortages?
Which of those nothings should we have stopped so that we could "win"?
