It's a two sided coin, isn't it.

Actually, there is no reason why blame has to be divided between both parties.  That's specious reasoning.

And if you need someone else needs blame, how about Mitch McConnell.  He's running home for a freaking MONTH, and there will be no way to pass needed legislation in that time.  How about a bill to expand the PHS or CDC staff to start implementing contact tracing and testing?  That would potentially add thousands of needed jobs and, like in South Korea, save a lot of lives.  How about funneling even more money to desperate state and local health departments?  How about loosening visas (currently frozen I think) for foreign medical workers who want to come to the US for work?  That's what I came up with in about 30 seconds of thinking about it--I know there's even more to be done.
