CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/JOE BIDEN/OBAMA/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Well, you know that we have one of the lowest mortality rates anywhere. If you know, Biden and Obama stopped their testing; they just stopped it. You probably know that. I’m sure you don’t want to report it. But they stopped testing.

CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/JOE BIDEN/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “The United States has over 3 million cases of COVID-19, and over 130,000 people have died — yet Donald Trump continues to say it will just ‘fade away.’ It’s unbelievable.

CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/JOE BIDEN/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Millions of Americans are still out of work wondering when or if their job will come back or worried about how to pay the bills in the meantime.

CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “On coronavirus, I acted very quickly, and I acted early. And they can’t get over it. Number one. Number two.

CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/JOE BIDEN: “Behind every COVID-19 death is a family and a community that will never be the same.

AFRICAN AMERICANS/CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/JOE BIDEN: “So this disease is not only tearing through the nation, devastating families, wrecking the economy, it’s magnifying and exacerbating some of the worst systematic inequities exist.
