CORONAVIRUS/JOE BIDEN: “Starting on day one of my presidency, we will take steps that will change the course of this [coronavirus] disease. More testing. We’ll find people with cases and get them away from one another, slowing the number of infections.
More protective gear for businesses and our schools to do the same, reducing the number of cases. Clear guidance, we’ll get more businesses and more schools open. We all have a role to play in beating this crisis. The federal government has vast powers to combat the virus.
And I commit to you, I will use all of those powers to lead a national coordinated response, but the federal government can’t do this alone. Each of us has a responsibility in our own lives, do what we can do to slow the virus. Every decision we make matters. Every decision we make can save lives. None of these steps we’re asking people to take are political statements. Every one of them is based on science, real science.”
