December 04, 2020There must be fairness in vaccine distribution.

This was stated by President-elect Joe Biden, noting that the African American community has been hit hard by Covid-19.  



No national mask obligation


Biden reiterated at a press conference that there will be no national mask obligation.

"I will ask people to do the right thing," Biden explained, "I will ask them to commit to wearing the mask for 100 days, which is not a political issue but a patriotic duty. While we distribute the vaccine we will be able to save hundreds. of thousands of lives ".



I will have more multiracial administration in history


Joe Biden also promised that his administration will be the most multiracial administration in US history.

Biden thus responded at a press conference to a reporter who asked him if he would choose a black person for the justice and defense departments after selecting two whites as secretary of state and secretary of the treasury.

Pressed by the reporter, who asked him if he did not intend to engage in this sense, Biden reiterated the promise of the most multiracial administration ever without going into details.



No time to waste, economy stalled


The US president-elect said the most recent job report is "terrible" and that there is no time to waste because millions of people have lost their jobs or have saw their incomes cut.

As the pandemic accelerated across the country, American employers slashed hiring last month, with 245,000 more jobs, the lowest since April and the fifth consecutive monthly slowdown.

Biden called on Congress to urgently push through an economic stimulus to help turn the page on the impact the coronavirus has had on the U.S. economy.

Friday's report provided the latest evidence that the job market and economy are faltering in the face of a virus that has broken daily records of confirmed infections.

Economic activity is likely to slow further as the pandemic deepens during the winter months.

"It was sad - said Biden -. It shows a stalled economy".
