Good thing is that we won't actually need a vaccine because it will just go away at some point.

Side note: Isn't it kinda sad that "college educated" means basically nothing in the US?

Another upside of the pandemic, people get to see that their leaders are a bunch of fuck wits and it only really matters the job that is done and not what is said. He is an idiot, that much is clear now but I wouldn't write him off yet though or discount the job he will do, somehow he always ends up ironing things out in favour of the US... maybe his team are playing him like a fiddle behind the scenes or maybe he is just really, really lucky. 

You talk about Trump as if he has any kind of agency, instead of being a lifeless bundle of nerve ends only reacting to noise and colors.

Nothing will change after this pandemic. For change to be enacted you would need politicians. Sadly there are only a handful of those in the US and neither of them have any kind of power to bring change. Nothing but a complete and total collapse would bring change to the US and even then it's a coin flip if it'll be good change.
