CORONAVIRUS/JOE BIDEN/VACCINES: “As we end one of the most difficult years as a nation, I am optimistic about the future. The [coronavirus] vaccines that have been discovered and developed give us enormous hope. Our economy is poised to come back, and come alive. And I can see a return to normalcy in the next year…
But I need to be honest. The next few weeks and months are going to be a very tough period of time for our nation — maybe the toughest of the entire pandemic. I know that’s hard to hear. But it’s the truth…
We need to follow even more closely the recommendations to slow the spread of the virus.”
