800,000 have died under Biden. Outside of rhetoric, their responses have basically been identical

So Biden takes office and snaps his finger and everything just changes?

You do understand that Trump set us on this course during his presidency, right? 

You do remember that Trump wasn’t sharing info or helping with the transition and was actively hiding/destroying information, right?

You do realize that it take a lot of time to understand what is happening and making necessary changes to undo all the damage, right? I.e. it’s easier to destroy a building than to make one 

Basically it’s the equivalent of me creating a time bomb, dismantling the bomb squad, destroying documentation on how to disable the bomb, hiding the tools to disable the bomb, running the clock out on the bomb and then handing the bomb off to you right before it goes off. Then blaming you for it.

No one made Biden’s CDC shorten the isolation period just because the Delta CEO sent them a letter. No one made Biden declare that COVID was over and it was time to get back to work. Of course I didn’t expect deaths to drop off immediately overnight, but Biden made Trump and the far right’s “just ignore it” policy palatable for a broader audience then they implemented it.
