Worse.
Think this through, Harry - but first get a paper towel and clean yourself up first. If Trump had been removed, the virus would still hit us with the same fury. If you accept the fact that Trump is to blame because he cut some people from the CDC out, then you accept that the virus's intensity and our response to it as being the natural conclusion.
So if Trump was impeached, we'd basically be where we're at now. Then, on top of the skepticism among the MAGA movement about the very aggressive response (shutting the country down, etc) would not only be about the virus, but also the "alleged" Deep State's role in it. Trust in public institutions would erode overnight, and half the country would lose all faith in the federal government.
In effect, if Trump had been impeached over all of that B.S. in the Ukraine, than the country would be where we are and even more divided, making a response like the one Trump is making now (which I'm sure you feel is inadequate) even less possible.
TL;DR: Trump being impeached before this would only slow the response
