In the United States, the number of new corona cases is increasing dramatically. The designated presidential candidate Joe Biden accuses the US president of failing in the crisis due to this development.
With more than 125,000 corona deaths in the U.S. and worryingly rising case numbers, the designated presidential candidate has Joe Biden the incumbent Donald Trump Accused of failure. “It appears that our” war president “has surrendered, flipped the white flag and left the battlefield,” said Biden during a speech on Tuesday in Wilmington, Delaware. He was referring to Trump’s statement in March that he felt “war president” in times of fighting the pandemic.
Biden: “Mister President, the crisis is real”
Trump has wasted time on effective measures against the spread of the corona virus, Biden said. Infections increased in a number of states, and large outbreaks could be imminent. “Donald Trump doesn’t do much about it. Mr. President, the crisis is real,” said Biden. The Democrat spoke out in favor of a general mask requirement in public and a return to cooperation with the World Health Organization WHO. He himself will not be holding any major campaign events until the vote in November.
“We can’t recover half again and get half worse. We can’t wear half masks and half reject science. We can’t continue with a plan half and half hope for the best,” said Biden. The United States takes very different actions against Corona. While former epicentres like New York and other states in the northwest have significantly reduced the numbers, states like Florida and Texas in the south are currently reporting the highest contagion numbers since the pandemic began. Trump pushed for an early reopening of the economy.
Biden was also asked whether he was suffering from a deterioration in his intellectual abilities – an accusation that Trump, in particular, keeps making. “I can’t wait to measure my mental skills against that of the man I’m competing against,” said the 77-year-old.
