The U.S. President-Elect Joe BidenHe said that if the current government does not coordinate with the one that is about to enter on January 20, which he heads, "more people may die" due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a situation that can wait until January 20, when the administration transition takes place.
At a press conference, the Democrat, to win the election on January 7He noted that, while the vaccine is important, "it's not much good if you don't vaccinate people.
"How can 300 million Americans be vaccinated? What's the plan? It is a daunting task to do this, and to give double priority to those who need it most, working with WHO - the World Health Organization - and the rest of the world in this process," he said.
Biden also stressed that it is not just a matter of having the vaccine, but of having a plan to distribute it.
"If we fear that waiting until January 20 to put it into action would put us almost a month and a half into the saga, so it is important that this is done in a coordinated manner from now on," he said.
In that regard, the president-elect tweeted in the afternoon and said that "at this time, Congress should come together and pass a COVID-19 aid package, like the HEROES Act, which the House passed six months ago.
He added that "once we turn off the virus and provide economic relief to workers and businesses, we can rebuild better than ever.
Importantly, in the morning, Biden reminded via Twitter that while it's great news that a second vaccine is on the way, we're still months away from it.
Social distancing and the use of mouthpieces to control the virus must still be exercised.
However, the still president, Donald Trump, continues not to admit his defeat, a situation that does not allow him to establish a dialogue with the transition team of the president-elect, Joe Biden, and with it, not have forceful actions to stop the pandemic that so far has left more than 11.2 million people infected and more than 246 thousand deaths.
