Joe Biden has been giving nearly daily briefings during his presidential transition. His main topic is the United States recovery from the Covid 19 pandemic among other topics.
Joe Biden has announced his plan to get 100 million Americans vaccinated within the first 100 days of his administration. This would mean if it can be done that approximately one third of Americans would be vaccinated in a little over three months. The existing two vaccines that have been approved for distribution, require a second vaccine to be administered in approximately one month after the first injection.
Joe Biden is planning on using the resources of the United States federal government in coordination with state governments to do mass vaccinations as opposed to the Trump administrations delegating the process to the states.
Joe Biden has also announced an economic recovery plan which includes giving the resources necessary for the states to not only be able to mass vaccinate the population, but to also open up schools, provide PPE, extended unemployment benefits, etc.
Above all what Joe Biden has brought to the table just before his administration is to take office, is that the Covid pandemic is not a political issue, it is an American issue. He states that he wants all Americans to wear masks for a short time so that the nation can get the Covid pandemic under control.
Under the Trump administration, Donald Trump mocked and discouraged people from wearing masks. He wanted Americans to artificially think that the Covid pandemic was just like a flu, so that the economy would remain normalized.
Joe Biden states that the economy cannot be normalized until we get the Covid pandemic under control.
Americans are sure to see new leadership, with incoming president Joe Biden on the Covid 19 pandemic that will encourage the wearing of masks, encourage people to get vaccinated, and above all to educate people that this is not a political issue, it is an American issue that must be solved with science leading the way.
