There’s a guilty pleasure, I suspect, that some are feeling at the prospect of Donald Trump and his Cabinet of vandals ransacking Washington. For too long we have lived with a government that is unresponsive. As a doctor, I experienced this most directly at the beginning of the pandemic. I wanted to test people with cough for COVID, but I wasn’t allowed to. I had to get permission from the state Department of Health, which was waiting on a faulty CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) test kit. The Food and Drug Administration, meanwhile, delayed private labs from offering tests. We are lucky that the virus arrived a few weeks late in Hawaii, or our first wave may have been as deadly as the one in New York.
