I think a lot of it comes down to avoiding accountability. Politicians are in charge of making all the decisions here, and they're masters at avoiding accountability. They wouldn't be in office otherwise, because EVERYBODY makes mistakes and people love to crucify their leaders for being fallible.

The whole response to the epidemic in the US is highly decentralized as a result. There are committees for this and committees for that and nobody can really just make things happen.

There is generally a lack of quick studies to gather reasonable data to base decisions on. What we do have is 500 independent studies all checking this aspect or that aspect of the disease, each in a different area with different subjects and many of them have target completions a year from now. Nobody wants to rush anything because that is how errors happen, but there isn't a recognition that a timely study that is 80% right is more useful than a perfect study that finishes 5 years from now.

And so what we have is 50,000 independent responses to the epidemic and each tries to learn from the others, so they're mostly moving in the same general direction, but there isn't much uniformity in practice. Nobody wants to step up and take charge, because then you'll be blamed for every person who dies, and people WILL die.

This is also why when there is a serious war (one where the outcome is in doubt - think WW2 and not Gulf War), there is often a lot of turnover of senior leaders in the military. During peacetime leaders in the military have to do the same kinds of office politics as people working anywhere. When SHTF at some point the national leaders realize that they could be bombed or tried as war criminals, and they start figuring out who can get results.

Now, if we were dealing with Ebola and not Covid19 you'd probably see a different response. People would be scared out of their minds with people bleeding out on streets everywhere, and you can bet that the daily press conference wouldn't be a political farce after a few days.
