Hillary would have been the perfect president for Covid. She would have shut down international airports and mandated rigorous screening to avoid spread.

The authoritarian tendencies people worried about with Hillary would have led to a quick and overwhelming reaction to Covid. We might not have been hit that hard.

A stick in a pile of flaming dogshit would have been a better president than Trump.

That's an artful way of repeating what the previous commenter said.

Event 201 conclusions said the opposite.

mandated rigorous screening to avoid spread.

Yes, this was possible. Many countries did track and trace well.

Yes and here, in much of europe, we literally don't have to worry about covid at all. Nobody wears a mask anymore, not because of some political protest like in the US, but because covid rates are so low while US and Canada keep having huge waves because people are so anti-themselves and refuse to do a very simple easy thing to protect themselves and each other.

And nobody would’ve died so it would’ve been overreach and unnecessary.
