It would actually be worth living through another pandemic if it means Trump can't execute his plans.

I somewhat agree but another pandemic is also a great excuse for potential economic issues, a great topic to distract people from unpopular measures and - as with the 'china virus' - something to villainize migrants or political opposition.
Never let a crisis go to waste.
I wouldn’t waste any time locking in a <2.5% mortgage this time though.
I wouldn’t mind a return and hopefully stick of WFH after they kept trying to force people back.
I doubt it. If they do force you to work during a pandemic, make sure to cough need the big boss IF THEY EVEN SHOW UP!
If H5N1 turns into a pandemic under Trumps rule, it will be seriously bad. No masks, no closing down businesses and schools, no vaccines.
Luckily, we can do our own vaccine development here in Europe.
Most points stand, but Trump actually was pro-vaccine in his first term despite the rhetoric of the opposite. He just doesn't talk about it because of his supporters being anti-vaccine. He did initiate Operation Warp Speed which was used to speed up vaccine development.
With an anti-vaxxer heading the CDC, a second Operation Warp Speed will nost likely be off the table.
Yeah we had Dr Fauchi at the time. And Trump even listened to him up until he started getting more attention at those press conferences. That’s when it all went off the rails and bleach enemas entered the chat.
He was only pro-vaccine in that he didn't care about it, and just said what he was told to say, until the crazies latched onto it, and he fell back into pandering
Well, if anyone knows how to fumble a pandemic response, it's this guy. Which is ironic considering what a germaphobe Trump supposedly is, you'd think that'd be the one thing he actually cared about.
Better stock up on hydroxychloroquine and horse paste! /s
