Your implication that it's the White House's fault that states didn't act appropriately is contradicted in your first sentence. If people knew it was so serious that they sold their stocks, then they had the information they needed to protect their citizens.
Why local government doesn't take responsibility for the very thing they are responsible for would be beyond my comprehension except I know that's part of the flawed human condition.
I challenge anyone to say with a straight face that they look to Donald Trump, the reality TV personality, for pandemic guidance. Chemists haven't invented what you'd need to be on to look to Trump as the guiding light for local medical guidance.
