This COMPETENT Administration's Response to COVID-19

Already, a comprehensive plan in place. Completely the opposite of the last utterly INCOMPETENT administration.

Much will be blocked/delayed by the disgusting Repubes in the Congress, but the most horrific of them are being referred for ethics violations, and will be dealt with.

In arguing for a new coronavirus aid package, Biden says "well over 600,000" people will die of the coronavirus in the U.S.

About 412,000 have died so far.

"We're in a national emergency. We need to act like we're in a national emergency."

Thank you, Joe!

Federal government opening first mass Covid vaccination sites in California
The effort is a change in course from the Trump administration, which left vaccine administration largely to the states.

Competence, leadership and action! Such a welcome change! Thank you, Joe!

Drove my better half up to the Tragic Kingdom in Anaheim for a 'jab' yesterday.
It went much faster than we expected. Hopefully I'll get mine soon but this takes a lot of worry out of our lives.

Pro tip - take a fold up camping stool or a walker w/ a seat. The lines reminded me going to the Antiques Roadshow, endless.

We got appointments a couple of days ago. Just that morning checked and I was 8500 out....
Then received a email around 1500.
Have a appointment for the 16th wife the 20th. She was five minutes behind me in setting one up.

You mean that herd immunity thing wasn't a comprehensive plan :confused:

Biden administration is looking into providing masks directly to everyone, perhaps a bit too ambitious but a good concept in principle. This is what Taiwan did at the Covidd-19 outbreak, their citizens could pick up masks for free at any drug store by showing their ID card I believe.

I got my shot yesterday. No waiting and I was in and out in less than an hour. From what I've heard, others had long wait times .... I feel so lucky.

(CNN)The Biden administration is hoping to resurrect a proposal from the Trump administration to mail face masks to every American in an attempt to stop the spread of Covid-19, White House chief of staff Ron Klain said Thursday.
"This was an idea that really came up last year in the Trump administration -- the public health agencies recommended it, President Trump vetoed it for some reason," Klain told NBC's Lester Holt. "We want to get this back on track. I hope in the next few days, or next week, we may be able to announce some progress on this."
The US Postal Service had planned to distribute 650 million face coverings for the Trump administration last April, according to internal documents reviewed by CNN in September. A senior administration official told The Washington Post at the time that the plan was scrapped by the White House as some advisers were worried that it could create "concern or panic."

Of course, causing panic is far worse than death is Trumpian logic. :rolleyes:
