Biden To Declare COVID Action Plan On Day 1 Of His Presidency

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has said that if voted to power, he would put into place a Covid-19 action plan on the first day of his presidency.

The former vice president, during a poll event in Philadelphia on Sunday, criticised the Trump administration’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic which has so far killed over 230,000 people and infected 9.2 million others in the US, saying “imagine where we would be if we had a president who wore a mask instead of mocked it?

“I can tell you this: We wouldn’t have 9 million confirmed cases of Covid in this nation. We wouldn’t have over 230,000 deaths, almost 9,000 here in Pennsylvania”.

The 77-year-old Democratic leader urged people to vote out President Donald Trump, saying it is time for Trump to pack his bags and go home.

“We’re done with the chaos. The tweets. The anger. The hate. The failure. The irresponsibility. We’ve got a lot of work to do,” Biden said, adding that the first step to beat the coronavirus is to beat Trump.

“On day one of my presidency, we will put into action the plan I have been talking about for months: Masking. Social distancing. Testing. Tracing. A plan for the full and fair and free distribution of therapeutics and the vaccine when we get one.

"We wouldn't be seeing these new record quantities of cases we're seeing each day at the present time. Almost 100,000 cases cross country on Friday alone. More than 2,600 of them Pennsylvanians. It was a record-breaking high," Biden said. 

He said that previous president Barack Obama and he made more positions over the most recent three years of their organization than Trump did in the initial three years of his, before the pandemic. 

"Trump will be the first president in quite a while who will complete his four years in office with less



positions under his authority than he began with. That is a great deal of presidents and a ton of emergencies — however just Trump will have less positions toward the finish of his administration than toward the beginning. 

"I comprehend something Donald Trump doesn't. Money Street didn't construct this nation. You did. Working individuals manufactured this nation. Associations assembled this nation. The working class constructed this nation. I accept we ought to be compensating work, not abundance in this nation," he said.

Delivering identical speech at another election event in Pennsylvania, Biden said that there is no limit to America’s future.

“The only thing that can tear America apart is America itself. And that’s exactly what Donald Trump has been doing from the beginning of his campaign. Dividing America. Pitting Americans against one another based on race, gender, ethnicity, national origin. That’s wrong. That’s not who we are.

“Everybody knows who Donald Trump is. Let’s keep showing them who we are. We choose hope over fear. Unity over division. Science over fiction. And yes, truth over lies. So, it’s time to stand up and take back our democracy. We can do this. We can be better than what we’ve been. We can be who we are at our best. The United States of America,” said the former vice president.

At another event, Biden said that if Americans vote, Trump does not stand a chance.

“They’ve had enough. There’s too much on the line to sit it out. In two days, we can put an end to a presidency that’s failed to protect this nation,” Biden added.

According to Johns Hopkins coronavirus tracker, the coronavirus has so far infected more than 46 million people and killed over 1.2 million people globally. The US is the worst affected country with over 9.2 million cases and 230,000 deaths.
