Personally, I think there would've been less death, but not dramatically less.
At the end of the day, Republicans and Dems are both capitalist and answer to the same overlords, so they still wouldn't have done what actually needed to be done to properly handle it (AKA do what China did).
Definitely better but it’d still be a major pandemic.
Canada and France have libs in charge and it’s not like they did amazing. NZ did a good job but they’re also an island.
