Nine days until the elections, and the crisis in the crown remains the dominant theme in the final phase of the electoral campaign. US presidential candidate Joe Biden has now accused incumbent Donald Trump of having abandoned the fight against the virus.
The president capitulates to the pandemic and hopes “that the virus will just go away if he ignores it,” Biden said Sunday.
The former vice president was referring to statements made by Trump’s chief of staff, Mark Meadows, on the government’s crown strategy. “We will not control the pandemic,” Meadows said on CNN. Rather, it is essential that a vaccine and anti-virus medicine are used.
However, government experts anticipate that sufficient doses of vaccines may not be available for all Americans until next spring.
In the US, a new record number of new corona infections was recorded on Saturday. According to Johns Hopkins University, there were almost 89,000 new cases of infection in 24 hours. So far, a total of 252,000 infected people have died in the United States.
There are also new cases in the Trump administration team. Vice President Mike Pence’s chief of staff Marc Short as well as other senior Pence employees tested positive, the US Presidential Office announced. Pence’s test itself was negative. The vice president will complete his campaign appointments, including a trip to North Carolina as planned.
The White House justified the decision with the fact that Pence did not have to go into quarantine according to the guidelines of the epidemic protection authorities with his status as an “absolutely necessary employee.”
The president refers to his own son, with different deadlines
The pandemic was also a problem in Trump’s election campaign appearances over the weekend. The president once again downplayed the danger, even more literally than before. “I had it, here I am,” Trump announced, alluding to his Covid 19 disease in one of the appearances. “And now they say I am immune.”
Trump had been treated, among other things, with a still experimental antibody drug, which he called a “cure.” In each of the appearances, she also said that her 14-year-old son Barron had been declared healthy by doctors shortly after testing positive. In all three speeches, Trump presented three variants of how quickly it supposedly happened: in 15 seconds, in 15 minutes, or in a day.
For Trump, the media is the problem again
Trump attributed the increase in infections in the country to more tests than before. “If we analyzed half, the number would be half.” In general, the virus is constantly talked about in the media. “If you turn on the television: ‘Covid, Covid, Covid, Covid, Covid,'” the president complained. “A plane crashes, 500 people have died, they don’t talk about it. ‘Covid, Covid, Covid, Covid.’
The media just wanted to scare people out of the election, Trump claimed. Thousands of supporters crowded together during his performances, many of them without masks.
Americans’ dissatisfaction with Trump’s crisis management during the pandemic could become the deciding factor in the November 3 presidential election.
