Sounds like things were developing, things were being discovered, the federal bureaucracy, as bureaucracies do, finally implemented the new scheme. This is the nature of multi-layered, complicated bureaucracies which ultimately wait for some central command. Expecting such a central command and control to immediately react to various suggestions, some of which conflict with others, to immediately hop on the supposedly correct one, is susceptible to Monday morning quarterbacking. Which can be used as opposition finger pointing attacks in order to gain power. A power which has, in itself, led to further and often worse "missteps" or outright malfeasance.

To claim to immediately know what exactly was the "right" thing to do is claiming some godlike power of foresight. Eventually getting it right is about the best we can hope for. Different localities, states, cities, did not have to wait for a central directive. Not in a truly federated system of government. What we have been evolving into is a unitary state which ultimately depends on the decision of one person. Blaming Trump is a symptom of how far we have gone down that dangerous path.
