Edit: Before the shitposting TC asks "okay, but what specific policies [that Trump claimed didn't exist]", there's a link to the pdf in that link and you can do your own homework without someone holding your hand

Would have taken it seriously. Wouldnt have made it a polictal tool. Would have gotten the states the help they needed. Had a whole team to help him deal with this, literally called the Pandemic Response Team.

I can keep going but I think thats enough.

Listening to expert advice, not spreading misinformation, and simply being a good role model are things Obama would have done differently. Those things alone wouldve had a huge positive impact on the pandemic.

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/07/how-jared-kushners-secret-testing-plan-went-poof-into-thin-air

Most troubling of all, perhaps, was a sentiment the expert said a member of Kushners team expressed: that because the virus had hit blue states hardest, a national plan was unnecessary and would not make sense politically. The political folks believed that because it was going to be relegated to Democratic states, that they could blame those governors, and that would be an effective political strategy, said the expert.
That logic may have swayed Kushner. It was very clear that Jared was ultimately the decision maker as to what [plan] was going to come out, the expert said.

By not doing that.

Fact of the matter is the vast majority of people followed guidelines for social distancing through the first couple of months. It wasn't until bars and restaurants, etc started opening that things took a turn for the worse. Any sort of halfway competent federal response would have us in a far better situation than our current state.

Probably started instituting a nationwide testing policy early in the pandemic, instead of just never doing it at all like Trump has so far.

Let's dispel once and for all with this fiction that Barack Obama doesn't know what he's doing. He knows exactly what he's doing. Barack Obama is undertaking an effort to destroy coronavirus.

There was a team and a plan ready for just such and occasion. It was all premade, ready for Trump, just in case.

And the buffoon tosses it.

Also, he wouldn't push fucking oleander and OANN.

Set up quarantine for people returning to America from known afflicted nations.
Moved to secure sufficient PPE for medical personnel.
Requested Governors of states with cases to institute social distancing, and mandatory lockdowns.
Ensured each state had access to as much funding and equipment as could be gathered.

You know, everything a competent human being would do.

He would have been sensible and immediately responded to it, but Republicans would probably be even worse with their liberal hoax bullshit.

Our best chance would have been with a sensible Republican POTUS who could have spun mask wearing and social distancing as some form of jingoism. Then we would only have to deal with your standard conspiracy theorist types.

I think people also forget, not just policy-wise, but also just general leadership leading up to all of this. Trump has spent every year in office muddying the waters by attacking science, the media, experts in most fields, riling up his supporters, emboldening radicals that would have been targeted by the Feds in almost any other administration, and just largely telling his supporters that they can't believe what they see and hear, they can only believe him.

He wouldn't have pushed an untested chemical, and he wouldn't have attacked media outlets for questioning the effectiveness of it.

He wouldn't have made multiple public statements ignoring its existence after it had begun infecting US citizens.

At some point, he would have commented on the tremendous loss of life and offered condolences to the American people who've lost family members and friends in this pandemic, instead of saying "if only 100,000 people die by August I'll have done a great job".

People in his party wouldn't be going on the news and saying "grandparents are willing to die to get the economy back on track" en-masse.

Obama wouldn't be peddling a fucking right-wing propaganda network on his Twitter while thousands of Americans die a day.
