The current president Trump recognized with the Covid-29 vaccine, organizing the Christmas party; President-elect Biden warns of the dark winter and calls for action.
The outgoing president once declared victory over the pandemic, praised the new vaccine as a “medical miracle” and congratulated himself for doing something that “no one has done before.”
“We are here to talk about a great national achievement,” President Donald Trump said at the White House in Washington on December 8. “Ever since the CoV attacked this country, we have been running for action.”
As the president prepares to succeed the declaration of the pandemic more dangerous than ever, considering this event “massive casualties” he is leaving a “big hole” for the United States with more suffering to come.
“We are facing a very dark winter,” Joe Biden said at an event in Wilmington, Delaware, on Dec. 8. “Things are likely to get much worse before the situation improves.”
Rarely did Americans witness in the same one-day period two conflicting messages from two of America’s top leaders about the national Covid-19 crisis.

Peter Baker, editor of The Times of New York CityIt is difficult to find a situation that shows a clear difference between the 45th and 46th president of the United States and the two speeches sent from Washington and Wilmington on December 8th.
If Trump tried to show the American people victory in the Covid-19 war, Biden would once again show sympathy for the pain of loss, urging everyone to wear masks and warn of “disaster” not quickly. finish.
At the Trump event, dozens of officials and guests crowded into an auditorium, most wearing masks. This is a major change in the White House after many years of refusal to take this action against the epidemic. However, Trump, who was hospitalized for Covid-19 in October, did not wear a mask even though 15 officials were behind him to sign a decree to prioritize vaccines for Americans.
At the Biden event, where he officially announced medical advisers and candidates for the new administration, few attended, all wearing masks and keeping a safe distance. With some nominations, Biden speaks online rather than in person. Just before the start of the event, Biden’s team did the familiar job of announcing that President Biden had a negative nCoV test.
The two opposing images between Trump and Biden are showing more and more, as the United States has witnessed a spike in Covid-19 in recent weeks. The United States also recently experienced its deadliest week from nCoV since April, averaging more than 2,000 deaths per day. Many hospitals fell into overcrowding, while the number of new infections rose steadily.
The new vaccine may be licensed for emergency use in the next few days, but the first doses are only for front-line health workers and high-risk groups. Most Americans won’t be able to get the vaccine until spring.
More than 53,000 Americans have died from the pandemic since November 3, and the country could have recorded an additional 97,000 deaths from nCoV by January 20, when Biden took office. Many health experts are also concerned that the United States should see a worse wave of Covid-19 as the nation enters a major year-end holiday, which includes Christmas and New Years.
While Biden is trying to send many messages against the epidemic, Peter Baker said that President Trump is “forgetting” the reality of the epidemic in the United States because he is “engrossed” with the achievements of vaccines.
However, the president is not entirely wrong to “acknowledge” the vaccine because the government has promoted the Operation Warp Speed project and the current Covid-19 vaccine is developing at a much faster rate than the previous one. any other vaccine in the medical history. It is a breakthrough that can help change the fight against the epidemic, although it cannot grow at the speed that President Trump had previously declared.
“Nobody thought we could do this in less than nine months. We have received a lot of criticism when we say that this is our goal,” President Trump said today. twelfth.
Trump added that “now we want to go back to normal life as we did nine months ago, when we have done a great job in many ways.”
When a journalist asked about the anti-epidemic message for Americans while waiting for the vaccine to spread, President Trump dismissed and highlighted the very important instructions given by a health professional, before quickly shooting. Vaccine theme. “Vaccines are our goal. It’s goal number one because it’s the way to end the pandemic,” Trump said.
Trump also dismisses fears about the Christmas parties he’s been throwing at the White House these days. “It’s Christmas parties and we have honestly reduced the number significantly as you know,” Trump said. “And I see that a lot of people who go to parties wear masks.”

Meanwhile in Wilmington, Biden outlined a completely different picture of Covid-19, with pieces of pain and loss. He points out that last week Covid-19 was the leading cause of death in the United States.
Unlike Trump, Biden deals directly with the victims of the pandemic. “For the family and friends of those who have died, a great wound in their heart can never heal,” he said.
“We have been living with a pandemic for so long that we run the risk of being paralyzed because it affects us all. You know we endure the feeling of not being able to do anything, amazing. trusting each other, accepting death, pain and suffering, “Biden said.
Biden added that he would “give credit to everyone” involved in vaccine development and said “vaccine development is a very important task.” He also expressed concern that under the Trump administration’s plan, vaccination would be delayed after the first launch, unless Congress approves providing additional funding.
However, Biden believes that the vaccine is not enough. He vowed to require that the mask be worn in federally owned areas or on buses, trains and interstate flights. At the same time, it encouraged Americans to wear masks elsewhere for at least the first 100 days of its inauguration.
“We need your help,” Biden said. “Wear a mask for at least 100 days. It is the easiest way you can do to reduce the number of Covid-19 infections, hospitalizations and deaths. Whatever your political opinion, wear a mask. In the first 100 days you Let’s take office, 100 days will make a difference. It is not a political statement. It is an act of patriotism. “
Faced with the prospect of taking over a country ravaged by a pandemic, Biden also tries to find a way to get his message across with hope, promising to turn suffering into a commitment to action. “Get out of our common pain. We must find a common purpose to control the pandemic, save people’s lives and heal the country,” he said.
