YaYa.... Trump pandemic job loses....Biden finally return to work gains.

Hmmm......that needs some additional information that was just published toward the end of April. It's an objective assessment of how covid's arrival and progress were handled....or rather, in numerous critical ways, with some exceptions, MIShandled.....and was carried out by the same group that investigated and provided the official report on 9/11. The committee mobilized to do the same for the covid pandemic, but never received the go-ahead. So they did it on their own.

"Lessons from the COVID War: An Investigative Report" by the Covid Crisis Group. Their credentials are regarded as exceptional.

"Their verdict: 'The leaders of the United States could not apply their country's vast assets effectively enough in practice.' "They conclude the pandemic was not an inescapable tragedy. The United States could and should have done better.... The United States started out 'with more capabilities than any other country in the world,' they note. But it ended up with 1 million dead. 'The Covid war is a story of how our wondrous scientific knowledge has run far, far ahead of the organized human ability to apply that knowledge in practice.... The administration abdicated its wartime responsibility to lead,' they add. 'It left the battlefield, and the war strategy' to the states and localities. By April, the White House chief of staff concluded the task force was 'useless and broken.'

There were so many many deaths that didn't have to be. An economic and jobs toll far worse than could have been. It wasn't that the covid-associated losses were unavoidable effects of the pandemic. It's that they were far worse than they would have been if those in charge had been motivated by facts and by concern for the populace rather than motivated far too much by politics and image.

So what Biden and his administration faced wasn't the unavoidable impact that the pandemic wrought, but the far greater impact due to Trump et al's grievous mishandling of the pandemic. The fact that Biden and his administration have been able to repair this extreme damage is quite a credit to them.
