CHILDREN/CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/JOE BIDEN: “I know that the case of childcare facilities across the nation is dire. People are looking for help desperately, and they’ve had to close their doors and lay off staff. And they’re not getting the protective equipment they need to reopen. The virus hotspots where they exist, and they exist all over the nation, they can’t reopen it all. And we’re in a childcare emergency and it didn’t have to be this way. That’s why I’m calling on the president to get the facilities and the resources and the equipment that are needed and get them to them now. Enough. Each day, the pandemic death toll grows each day, in some states, more people test positive the day before, an each day too many American workers are still out of work and losing hope.”
