US elections Donald Trump faces first cracks in the Republican Party
Joe Biden
has advanced his emergency plan to stop the advance of the coronavirus, the
highest priority of his future government
.
"Without having the virus under control, we will not be able to recover our economy or continue our lives," warned the Democrat, who has announced the creation of a "strike force" of 12 scientists who will advise him permanently upon his arrival at the White House .
"Decisions will be made by those
responsible for public health
, and not by politicians," warned
Biden
.
"My purpose is to restore the ability of professionals and experts, so that they can communicate without interference with the public."
The United States is expected to surpass the barrier of
10 million cases of Covid-19 on Monday
.
With 4% of the world's population, the country currently concentrates
20% of infections
, which have soared in the last week in the shadow of the presidential cart.
It is also the country with the highest number of deaths to date (237,400) although it does not appear in the top ten for the number of deaths per 100,000 inhabitants.
Biden
has proposed to end the outbreak of the
Trump
era
with a plan "grounded in science" and seeking, in his own words, a balance between
"compassion, empathy and concern
.
"
During the campaign, Trump accused the Democratic candidate of wanting to impose a "national confinement" from day one.
The Democrat threw balls out during the campaign and recognized the need for solutions adapted to the situation in each of the states (curiously, the second wave has especially hit the Republican strip of the
Midwest
that voted for
Trump
).
Biden
promised more coordinated action with governors but recognized the need for a national strategy.
"I am going to go governor by governor and demand the mandatory use of masks in their states, and if they refuse, I will go to the mayors and those responsible for the counties, and extend the requirement throughout the nation,"
Biden
anticipated
.
Despite having contracted the virus,
Trump
has assured that the use of the mask obeys "politically correct".
Although not mandatory in many cities, the vast majority of Americans use them on the street and in public spaces.
Biden
will also mandate a primary role for the
Centers for Disease Prevention and Control
(CDC) in tracking and collecting data on positive cases and hospital admissions.
"We have to invest a lot more money in testing and tracking," anticipated
Biden
, who has promised
free tests for all Americans
.
Another key piece of his plan will be to protect the so-called
"Obamacare,"
the health care system launched by
Obama
and partially dismantled by
Donald Trump
.
It is estimated that more than 7 million Americans lost their health coverage due to layoffs during the
pandemic
and that a total of 14.6 million have been left unprotected and are therefore more vulnerable to the
pandemic
.
Restore the credibility of scientists, dramatically increase population tests, and supervise the eventual distribution of millions of vaccine doses.
Those are, according to Biden, the three great challenges of the plan in the face of the
coronavirus
, which aims to combat "apathy and misinformation" of his compatriots at the same time.
