You're right in that the lockdowns really put a hurting on economic progression, again, globally. This is going off memory here, but as far as I remember the U.S. economy is recovering the quickest globally.

As far as I am told as a non-resident, this is indeed the case.

It was 44.000 votes in three crucial swing states (Georgia, Wisconsin, Arizona) that gave Biden the edge. Imho more of a coin flip than a candidate being dead in the water. I have to agree with mickey here, I'd wager without the pandemic the election very well could have swung the other way.
