So Ava DuVernay thinks that COVID-19 is going to just vanish when we've elected a new President? Does she assume Biden and Harris are going to massively fund a contact-tracing effort, make treatment and quarantining compatible with economic survival, and roll out faster free testing on a large scale?

So Ava DuVernay thinks that COVID-19 is going to just vanish when we've elected a new President? Does she assume Biden and Harris are going to massively fund a contact-tracing effort, make treatment and quarantining compatible with economic survival, and roll out faster free testing on a large scale? Because if they don't do those things, the disease is not going to stop spreading, and they have specifically said they do not want to do step 2, which will lead to sick people continuing to go to work and probably spread the disease.
The pandemic will stop when action is collectively taken to stop it. If Donald Trump rolled out the above steps, the pandemic would end. Donald Trump could still be a terrible asshole, but the pandemic would end. You can make the case he won't do those things under any conditions, because he's a terrible asshole, but if someone who you thought was not a terrible asshole took inadequate steps to stop the pandemic, then the pandemic is going to keep going. Reality is not shaped by the inherent moral quality of our politicians. It's shaped by what our politicians do.
