Not so much at all? Rather than incredibly strict action taken to try to force things, we have massive inaction, or poorly done actions at the state and federal level taken on a global pandemic.

It also doesn't have the entire "it's for your own good" belief attached to it.

yeah, if anything Trump is more like Cornelius Fudge pretending the problem doesn't exist while people are being killed
not to mention the smears on those who DO try to take action

well yeah, I have read the HP books, but I'm saying Trump is more like Fudge than Umbridge

McConnell is more like Umbridge

I'm not so sure it's as straightforward as that. It went from "Lockdown Chinese flights", to "it's not going to be that bad" to "Hydroxychloroquine might save the day". So more "the problem exists and we have a plan?" without much confidence behind it.

And again, it's also a state problem - a ton of Governors and state employees are at massive fault. The decision to allow sick people to return to retirement homes (that's where ~40 percent of the covid deaths are) is inexcusable. Especially that Pennsylvania employee who made the call to let the ill return to the retirement home while removing her mother from them.
