do you actually, honestly think hillary would have ignored and denounced the CDC, done the exact opposite of what is proven to work in other countries, and call the virus a hoax for months and actively financially and politically harm those who take it seriously?

A hypothetical Hillary stating "this is bad, take it seriously" would have accomplished little but making tinfoil-hat nutters tinfoil nut even harder.

There would still be no constitutional basis for a national lockdown mandate or even a mask mandate, and by the time the dogpile of court cases (and associated stays) finally weaved through the courts, the same general end result would have happened anyway.
Possibly even worse, if the tea-party crowd mobilized in mass-opposition to even the mere appearance of overreach.
