I think you're trying to fudge by using a word "responsibility" that has nothing to do with the Constitution. That document grants the Federal Government "powers", it doesn't talk about "responsibility".

Estimates are that if this outbreak is unchecked by governmental measures, it will cause millions of deaths in the US. So "if nobody did anything" a lot of Americans ...[text shortened]... e effective collective action in cases like this where individual state actions would be inadequate.
Powers are the same thing as responsibility. According to the Bill of Rights, this is a State issue.

Evidently you do not understand the structure of government established by the Constitution.

And certainly in "good times" the federal government takes credit.

Do you not think that American citizens expect some support
from the President? And Federal Agencies? And Presidential powers?
