Former vice president Joe Biden on Tuesday criticized the presidente Donald Trump for his handling of the coronavirus crisis, as he tries to convince voters that he would better deal with the situation if he were in the White House.
Biden, who will face Trump in the November election, accused the Republican of “raising the white flag” and refusing to lead the country during a pandemic that has killed 125,000 Americans and caused unregistered levels of unemployment since the Great Depression.
“Despite administration propaganda that his response should be celebrated, despite President Trump’s request that we should not test because he thinks they make him look bad, the COVID-19 still here, ”he said. “It shouldn’t have been that way.”

Biden said a national virus testing and tracking system for those who have become infected is necessary to restore enough confidence for businesses to reopen and for consumers to re-engage in the economy. He added that the widespread use of face masks and social distancing practices should be the normal protocol “for the foreseeable future” and warned that the COVID-19 pandemic “will almost certainly worsen” during the next influenza season.
“We cannot continue to recover half-heartedly, half-worse. We cannot defeat this virus with a fragmented approach. “
In a separate summary released before his evening speech, Biden’s campaign says it is “impossible” to predict the state of the pandemic by the inauguration day in January, but said Biden “will not wait to take action.” and he promised that one of his first actions would be to ask the doctor Anthony Fauci, the federal government’s leading infectious disease expert, who remained in office.
