It Would Have Been Enough

There is so much that has gone wrong with the US COVID-19 response.  It is hard to know where to start.  The concept of Dayenu, ot it would have been enough, is prevalent in the Passover story, and sadly fits our current debacle.
The first is that we do not have a leader who is capable of managing a day care center, much less a national response to a pandemic. Dayenu.  Second, he put his SIL, a man child who has nothing but a list of failures to his name, in charge of preparation.  Dayenu.  His aversion to expertise is on public display and as the death toll has risen, hospitals don't have enough PPE, he has become increasingly irrational and rambling. Dayenu.    The distribution of resources based on how much you praise him, the confiscation of imported items, and the graft in the bail out package all speak to a massively failed response.  Dayenu.  Now the GOP, which is the disease, is looking to shut down the post office so people won't be able to vote by mail. Ok, now you have gone too far.
