The president-elect of the United States, Joe biden, warned this Tuesday that the darkest days of the pandemic “are yet to come” in the country, and that the start of the vaccination campaign will not prevent “tens of thousands” of more people from still dying due to covid-19.
“Our darkest days in the battle against Covid are yet to come, we have not left them behind. As frustrating as it is to hear it, we are going to need patience, persistence and determination to defeat this virus, “Biden said at a news conference in Wilmington, Delaware.
In this sense, the former vice president of Barack Obama (2009-2017) warned: “Experts say things are going to get worse before they get better”.
Three days before Christmas, as Americans prepare for unusual holidays amid a rebound in COVID-19 cases and deaths, Biden said he has “absolute confidence in the vaccine, but supplies are few.”
“We are going to lose tens of thousands of lives in the coming months and the vaccine will not be able to stop that -Indian-. We need everyone to wear a mask, practice social distancing and avoid large congregations, especially indoors. “
Biden also mentioned the stimulus package, approved last night by Congress and now awaiting Trump’s signature, worth 900,000 million dollars, to alleviate the deterioration of the economy caused by the pandemic.
As he has said on previous occasions, the Democrat said that “this law is only a first step.”
“At the beginning of next year I will present to Congress my plan for the following (the next step),” said the president-elect, who recalled that the distribution of vaccines is going to cost billions of dollars.
In addition, “we must take care of those people who without fault are unemployed,” he warned.
Biden, on the other hand, was cautious about the most contagious strain of the virus that originated in the United Kingdom.
“We are studying whether or not to require tests before (people) get on the plane and quarantine upon arrival (to the US), that’s my instinct but I’m waiting for my team’s recommendation, “he said.
