Frankly, I think one of the main reasons the Trump ‘administration’ isn’t doing anything is because most of the people dying simply aren’t white enough.
Once the wealthy white donors start dying in large numbers, you can be assured the GOP’s sensitivities will leap to life (much like the Republicans running ads, against Trump – only took four million infections for their consciences to finally twitch to life – so comforting when they stopped actively aiding and abetting the crime…)
SO… in short, don’t hold your breath waiting for Trump and his flying monkees to really DO anything. Just wait… when the stacks of non-white bodies get tall enough… someday…
