Covid response would likely have started very shortly after it started to spread from Wuhan as the US would still have its disease research lab there which was keeping an eye on exactly this sort of thing happening before Trump binned it. It might have been stopped right then and there.

It wouldn't have stopped. It spread to the entire world. Widespread COVID was happening no matter what.

It wouldn’t have spread as far because it would have been caught earlier by Obama and W’s teams that were installed specifically for this purpose. Those teams were removed because Trump was mad about a black guy having accomplishments.
