It has been observed quite a lot that some of what is needed at the moment is 'socialist' in nature, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out that Corbyn wouldn't have shied away from such measures in the way the Tories have been doing.
Of course Corbyn would't have shied away from socialist interventions. The fact (even) the Tories were forced to enact these measures possibly offers a better argument for their continuation post COVID.

Well, I don't think it's a ridiculous question, but you kind of need to break it down into two parts. I think we'd undoubtedly be in a better situation just generally, but on the specific question of coronavirus, we obviously don't know if Corbyn would be a better crisis manager. What I am certain of is that he would have taken it very, very seriously right from the beginning, and that action and planning would have started in earnest much earlier.
