Surely Trump's dismal performance in containing covid couldn't have anything to do with it.
Biden had to mop up the catastrophic trump fuckup.

The Europeans could not. The Chinese could not.
Hillary would not have been able to - and probably would have crashed the economy even worse by trying every authoritarian lock down trick in the book.
We got a cold hard look at how disease spreads in the modern world. And we learned that no amount of tyranny is going to stop an epidemic.
Modern transportation spreads disease too fast for government measures to contain it. It isn't 1922 anymore.
The only thing that will make people isolate is if the disease has a very high fatality rate. At that point, you won't need to force people to quarantine. They will do it themselves out of fear.
