Honestly? Not much. Yeah a lot of focus is/was on individuals not believing in a pandemic, and therefore doing a bunch to spread it, but it's really a lack of education and aid from the government that has allowed this to spiral as it has. Sure, a Clinton administration might have done less obvious "science denying", but I truly believe they would not have done more to educate the public, offer aid to those who needed it, or do anything besides try to "help the economy during these trying times". Maybe means-tested tax rebates on food based on your 2019 tax filing.
I think an HRC administration would have used that one act to force companies to manufacture PPE and would have bought more vaccines and planned distribution better.
I think they’d still be incredibly hesitant to lock down and not willing to provide people the financial support they need in order to stay home. The business bailout would be slightly less nakedly corrupt. We’d probably be doing as well as the UK, which is not much better.
