Exactly one year after the first case of Covid-19 was confirmed in the United States, Joe Biden was sworn in as president, inheriting the worst public health disaster since the flu pandemic of 1918. Biden made a “wide war” attempt to fight the virus in the days that followed, while also making a nation that is sick of illness the darkest of its chapters.
Biden said, “There’s a horrible prediction that everything will continue to get worse before they get better. By the end of February, he warned the national death toll could reach half a million. Just one year after the announcement of the first case of Covid-19 in the US, Joe Biden became president and inherited the worst tragedy since a flu pandemic in 1918.
Biden made a “wide war” attempt to fight the virus in the days that followed, while also making a nation that is sick of illness the darkest of its chapters. Biden said, “There’s a horrible prediction that everything will continue to get worse before they get better. By the end of February, he warned the national death toll could reach half a million.
Now, as Biden had expected, a few months later, Covid-19 hurled 500,000 deaths in total, a dreadful record of the severity of the pandemic in America – and his predecessor Donald Trump’s misrepresentation of the problems he faces in fighting a public health epidemic will just vanish.
“This is awful,” the country’s leading infectious diseased specialist Dr. Anthony Fauci told CNN on Sunday. “Truly it’s terrible. It’s a historical thing. In the past 102 years, since the influenza pandemic in 1918, this is nothing we’ve ever been through.
The new administration’s widespread coronavirus mission was welcomed by public health experts and scientists but it warns of major obstacles. And although Biden was struggling to overcome Congressional Republicans, polls show that a large majority of Americans have so far approved his handling of the pandemic.
Paul Maslin, a Wisconsin-based Democratic pollster who travelled to Biden on Tuesday to build his stimulus package, said that “the results are trump bipartisan.” “He will eventually be judged: how well and how soon have people been vaccinated? How fast and how well did he economically get people back to their feet? ”
