This is extremely disingenuous. I am referring to the pandemic as a natural disaster, one which the administration has handled rather well.
The common media narrative is that the White House bungled the coronavirus, but it's BS. Trump was ahead of the curve and most of the control is in state and local hands. The travel ban to China was timely and it bought time. he set up the task force, gave it a high profile liaison and a lot of publicity. In February no one had ever heard of Dr. Fauci. There were shortages of tests, masks, ventilators. The administration worked around usual roadblocks to get all of these available in record time. The same is true of the vaccine, which was initially not expected until 2022. Those Governors that heeded the task force guidelines did well, eg Florida, Texas, interestingly California. Those that did not, did less well, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts.
