But people will continue to punish the dems for it and vote for a party that will likely do nothing to make the situation better.

You're correct, but it's also important to remember that without COVID (and the subsequent mismanagement of it), Trump probably would have won in 2020. Early in the year before the shutdowns, he had the highest approval rating of his presidency, unemployment was at 3.5% and falling, real wages were rising quickly, and inflation was low. Democrats benefited from COVID in 2020, so it's not surprising that they could be hurt by its aftereffects 4 years later.
