Ronald A. "Ron" Klain is an American lawyer and political operative best known for serving as Chief of Staff to two Vice Presidents - Al Gore (1995–1999) and Joseph Biden (2009–2011).[1][2] He is an influential Democratic Party insider. Earlier in his career, he was a law clerk for Supreme Court Justice Byron "Whizzer" White during the Court's 1987 and 1988 Terms and worked on Capitol Hill, where he was Chief Counsel to the Senate Judiciary Committee during the Clarence Thomas Supreme Court nomination. He was portrayed by Kevin Spacey in the HBO film Recount depicting the tumult of the 2000 presidential election. On October 17, 2014, President Obama named Klain the newly created "Ebola response coordinator" (or, less officially, Ebola "czar").

It is a good idea to put someone in charge of this. It is provoking a panic, where a panic is unmerited.

per wiki:

"Ron Klain is a political operative best known for serving as Chief of Staff
to Al Gore and Joe Biden. He is an influential Democratic Party insider
".

Amazing! No experience in medicine.

Zero public health background.

None! Nada!

Totally Unbelievable!

They have plenty of doctors and public health experts. What they need is an organization man to bring them all together. This guy may or may not turn out to be a wise choice, but it is certainly too soon to criticize him.
