IMO, whether you are for or against Trump, he deserves credit for not using the virus as a way of advancing his office's powers. This includes both not passing legislation (such as Bush who used a crises to pass the PATRIOT ACT, or stuffing a relief package with unrelated items), and not creating a fait accompli (passing rules that will be accepted in the current environment, but would make for precedent, as is happening in some countries now). Now, it could be argued that he SHOULD be passing sweeping laws and/or legislation, and that both the PATRIOT act and the expansion of powers in various countries are worth it. But still, the good of his restraint is worth appreciating, since it is by no means a given. (Especially considering that he is often depicted as being very authoritarian.)
