In Berlin we had two different modes of operation when in the field, tactical and administrative. Tactical meant we were operating under simulated combat conditions, and administrative meant that we were not. We had been tactical all morning, but they told us to go administrative for lunch. They served us in a wet muddy field where there was no decent place to sit down, so we were eating standing up. While we were thus engaged, some goofball shot off a burst of automatic weapons fire nearby. Since we were administrative at the time, we were not expected to respond to this, and most of us didn't. Those guys from Vietnam, however, dropped their chow and flopped down prone right in the mud. Apparently they had little or no experience with the administrative mode, which was another thing we had to teach them.

"He would have seen that this pandemic was going to hurt not only the people but his own presidency and would have taken the advice of the experts. which by the way, was not all that hard, and we would have not even be having a debate about opening the schools. Our restaurants and bars would be open and staying open." - Uncle Ken
Since the lockdown failed to stop the virus, it seems likely that, if it had been imposed earlier, it just would have failed earlier. Be that as it may, Uncle Ken seems to be saying that there was something Trump could have done that would have stopped the virus and made the lockdown unnecessary. I have not heard that one before, please enlighten me.
