I imagine in terms of medical care access and affordability or welfare stimulus, practically negligible, but in terms of CDC funding, science literacy, public policy, and general preparedness, it would be a whole lot better put together.

So I'd say... 10% fewer deaths? 200K vs. 220K deaths sounds about right.

    There was a pandemic response unit in the National Security council that started in 2015 but was disbanded by Trump in 2018. Perhaps if Clinton kept it, it would've been useful. Also doing small things like mailing masks to everyone could've helped

      Lol Biden literally has a trump card right there just by mentioning that Trump dismantled the pandemic response unit. That would literally be the number one talking point to use against Trump in a debate or town hall but Biden is too stupid or trying to lose on purpose
