What if Hillary Clinton was president, and hadn't dismantled the USG apparatus that was supposed to respond to emerging infectious diseases?

Clinton would have been impeached and removed in 2018, after republicans got a Senate supermajority, is my strong belief.

One wonders. Because the largest containment experiment in history enough isn’t going to be enough to convince a lot of people.

9-13% mortality rate in France, Italy, Britain, and Spain. That isn't counting deaths at home and asymptomatic cases though. But, once your health system gets overwhelmed and it spreads to the elderly it seems to get very bad.

That’s not the real rate, but the very biased result of doing very, very little testing. Number of infection cases is seriously underestimated, maybe to 1/10th of the real figure.

My favorite counterfactual: 12 months of harsh lockdowns, deep economic depression, containment fails around world, 10M+ dead, then finally a variolation trial and oh look, a simple procedure cuts risk down to flu levels and reopens the economy. Except it might be factual.

Even “what if the IFR wasn’t age dependent” packs a punch.

Yeah, I'm not picky! The pandemic is of course no light matter, but it is very much gentler than in all reasonableness we could have expected.
