How much different would this look? I don’t mean in terms of who could handle it better Trump vs Obama. Would the media cause mass panic?

Unprecedented man-made crisis are hardly ever handled without any hiccups. Just look at Katrina, the Obamacare rollout, the Soros Bat Flu.

Fox News would be melting down
MSNBC/CNN/ABC/CBS would be praising Obama's effort and complaining about Fox News being divisive.

So basically the roles would swap as the do with everything else. Either way, you'll act as you're told to.

He would take personal credit for every saved life and blame Bush for the ones that died.

The situation on the ground would be almost identical, maybe a little worse if he didn't close off China as quickly.

The media on the other hand would be doing their best to promote calm and unity, rather than chaos and discord.

He wouldn't declare an emergency until the shite it the fan. Then it's too late to fight the spread.

It would be the same relative to the panic and what’s generally going on...the difference would be that the finger pointing would flip sides.

NBA would be playing. NCAA tournament would be happening. NFL draft would go on as planned. People would be encouraged to go out and support small businesses.
