New cases are breaking records every day.

Thus, yesterday Sunday, the country recorded more than 100,000 contaminations for the third consecutive day.

The United States has more than 10 million cases today.

Joe Biden is therefore aware of the gravity of the situation and of the fact that it is more than urgent to act.

He spoke about it in his brief speech after the announcement of his victory, Friday evening, and today he is taking action and will create an emergency unit: around ten experts will be responsible for establishing a plan that must be operational from the inauguration of Joe Biden on January 20.

The team of President-elect has also launched a website called

Build Back Better

( "

 Building back better").

There we find the details of his program for his first days in power with its four main priorities: the Covid-19 of course, but also the economy, social and racial justice AND the climate.

In this regard, Joe Biden would prepare to sign decrees from day 1 to reverse decisions made by Donald Trump.

For example, he should sign the return of the United States to the Paris Climate Agreement, as well as to the World Health Organization.

Donald Trump still refuses to acknowledge his defeat

So many perspectives that will displease the outgoing president who persists in his refusal.

Donald Trump continues to claim that he won and that there was fraud.

His lawyer, Rudy Giuliani said that Donald Trump's team would file 4 to 5 court cases by the end of the week.

Appeals which according to experts have very little chance of success given the absence of evidence supporting the accusations of irregularities.

Since when does the Lamestream Media call who our next president will be?

We have all learned a lot in the last two weeks!
