If you read the article, they're just saying live with it. There's nothing there about a comprehensive mitigation message (maybe that's coming). And I don't know how they think a certain someone can stay on message, especially when it contradicts pretty much everything he has been saying.

Apparently the Mayor of Baton Rouge claims that the reason that she finally decided to mandate masks is because "the White House" called and suggested that they do it. It would not surprise me at all if a certain someone was doing what he has been doing since the beginning, speaking tough and spreading conspiracy theories publicly, but telling states and mayors they better do something behind the scenes. Of course, the major issue is that the states and mayors are getting zero support, help, guidance from the CDC (because someone won't allow them to do anything) and for some reason we apparently haven't been mas producing COVID tests, PPE, and ventilators.
