First, she will remove all the brainless grifters Trump has put in charge of the COVID response, especially his criminal son-in-law Kushner. (And because Democrats can walk and chew Republican ass at the same time, she also needs to launch a counterintelligence investigation on the Trump Bund to find out exactly what classified and sensitive information has been given to what hostile power, and how much Kushner got paid for it.)

Next, she will call Anthony Fauci at the CDC with three instructions:
1) It’s your bailiwick. You have full authority.
2) Do what you need to do, spend what you need to spend, and move around anyone you have to in order to get us through this thing.
3) Pick three media points of contact, and put them on in 8-hour shifts. Make sure they know they need to be camera ready at all times because they could go on television at any moment.

Third, she will call General Garrett at Forces Command, which is the Army Major Command that runs all the US-based divisions. FORSCOM has a lot of tents, generators, water purification equipment and warm bodies that will come in VERY handy in a pandemic.

Because there are a LOT of people who'd be perfectly happy to have Pence, and he'd be really bad too

He would at least let the experts make the call. And would be easier to beat in November since he has no cult.

If he didn’t try to bring on the rapture with some Nuclear launches.

Many more deaths are attributed to the flu and this is just going away.

Been hoping for a lingering, disfiguring, and painful death but I'll settle for this.

I have read some obituary notices with great pleasure." - Maybe Mark Twain, or maybe Clarence Darrow.

They were better people than I am with respect to the wishing part.
