President-elect Biden of the United States also started its first official schedule in response to the corona crisis.

He stressed that when a vaccine is available, it will be prepared as soon as possible so that all citizens can get it for free.

Until then, however, he appealed to the faction and the captain to wear a mask.

Biden started his speech by saying that a dark winter is coming.



It also said more than 200,000 Americans could die from the coronavirus this winter.



Unlike President Trump, who is said to be no big deal, he stressed that he would take corona countermeasures with scientists and implement them immediately after taking office.



When the vaccine came out, he promised to inoculate the entire population for free.



[Joe Biden/US President-elect: Once the vaccine is approved, we will produce it as soon as possible and supply it to the Americans for free.]



But, he said it will take several months more until then, and now, I am calling for a mask. I wrote half.



[Joe Biden/U.S. President-elect: Supporting party, position, these are not important.

In the coming months, just wearing a mask could save tens of thousands of lives.

Not the lives of Democrats and Republicans, but the lives of the American people.]



Biden also formed an advisory group consisting of 13 corona experts.



Senior officials who resigned after criticizing President Trump's response to the corona were also included.



[Rick Bright/At the time, Director of Vaccine Development, Department of Welfare: More people will die.

(President Trump) has not listened to scientists and is pushing them to the rear.]



Biden, who seemed not to provoke President Trump, did not directly comment on Trump's response to the corona and movements against elections.
