A new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) in the US is spreading out of control, while US President Donald Trump, who disagrees with the results of the presidential election, practically he leaves his hand in state affairs.

As the situation worsens, such as limited patient capacity in hospitals in some areas, President-elect Joe Biden and Republicans are lobbying the White House, saying they should start to take over and take over the regime.

Ron Klein, who was nominated as Biden’s first chief secretary, appeared on NBC News Sunday’s current affairs show ‘Meet the Press’ and said that given the severity of the Corona 19 pandemic, a smooth transfer of power is necessary. .

“Until the Federal General Administration (GSA) grants permission, we cannot make any contact with government officials,” he said. “Since the new president took office in the midst of a crisis, the smooth transition is more than ever. Everything is important.”

He also said that the current government should communicate with health and medical personnel related to vaccine distribution from now on so that if the vaccine is launched in December or January, it can be quickly distributed. He said that vaccine production and distribution is a bigger problem than vaccine development. “The vaccine, not the vaccine itself, saves lives,” Klein said. “It needs to be approved by the GSA so we can start working.”

In fact, the spread of Corona 19 in the United States is the worst. According to Corona 19 data from Johns Hopkins University, the number of confirmed corona 19 cases in the United States on the 15th (local time) was 11 million, an increase of 1 million in just 6 days after exceeding 10 million patients accumulated on the 9th. On the 4th, the day after the presidential elections, the number of confirmed cases surpassed 100,000 per day and then surpassed 100,000 for 11 consecutive days.

On the 13th, the number of new confirmed cases peaked at 180,000 on the 13th and 165,000 on the 15th. 1,266 people died per day on the 15th, and deaths are increasing in 31 states. The number of hospitalized patients was 69,000, a record.

In the midst of this, even some Republicans are saying that President Trump should cooperate to take control and take over the regime.

John Bolton, a former White House security adviser in the Trump administration, appeared on ABC News ‘This Week’ and said, “President Trump is making the next administration as difficult as possible.” I’m doing it. “” You need to change it and do it as quickly as possible, “he said.

Ohio Gov. Mike Dwine, one of Trump’s supporters, also appeared on CNN’s State of the Union and said, “We know Joe Biden is president-elect.” “For this country, the transition is important and the process begins. I have to do it.” According to New York Times statistics, Ohio had 7,700 confirmed cases on the 14th, an increase of 124% from two weeks ago.

Anthony Pouch, director of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, compared CNN to the regime change response to Corona 19. Pouch urged the takeover of the regime, saying: “If you can work with them (the Biden’s team), the situation will be much better, “he said.

However, President Trump is not by any means. He kept mum about the broadcast of Corona 19 and tweeted about the victory and defeat of the presidential election throughout the day.

President Trump tweeted at 7:45 am that day, “He (Biden) won because the election was fabricated.” It was the first time he had openly acknowledged Biden-elect’s victory, although he did not bow to claims that the election was rigged.

When the media reported that President Trump had acknowledged Biden’s victory, an hour and a half later, at 9:16 a.m., he tweeted again and wrote “a rigged election. We won!” He then made it clear that he was not a monk and said: “Only in the eyes of the fake news he won.

As if that wasn’t enough, President Trump tweeted at 11:55 pm that day: “I WON THE ELECTION!” The entire sentence was written in capital letters for emphasis.

After the election on the 3rd, President Trump has barely set an official schedule for the 12th, except for a visit to Arlington National Cemetery on the 11th, and the White House is reportedly focusing on preparing future measures with his assistants and staff. Meanwhile, I played four rounds of golf on two weekends.
