President Biden speaks on COVID-19 response, signs executive orders

President Joe Biden spoke about his administration’s COVID-19 response, a day after his inauguration. He also signed 10 executive orders as part of his strategy to combat the coronavirus pandemic, which has now claimed 400,000 American lives.

The administration’s plan aims to vastly expand testing and vaccine availability, reopen the majority of schools in the next 100 days and administer 100 million vaccine doses by the end of April. But, much of the plan will be impossible if Congress doesn't pass Mr. Biden’s nearly $2 trillion coronavirus proposal.

"Just 15 days!" 280 days later.
"Just 99 days!" Then he switched to "just 100 days."

I love that He’s not sugar coating our situation or denying it, he says this will get worse before it gets better and that is so correct. The first step in fixing our situation is admitting we have failed.

I've lost a few friends and family from Covid....I was fortunate to had recovered last year in May! It's been a horrid experience these past several months etc...It's about time we got a President that is fully focus and caring enough in tackling this pandemic once and for all! Amen!!!

[charismar.]

I'm loving that he isn't sugar coating anything and that he's paying respect to those we've lost. May they never be forgotten. Also, I appreciate him putting his plan online for us to review. I appreciate the transparency the most.

Hatred, denial. So many people believes in lies.

3:12 So true, if trump and others took covid seriously from the beginning we wouldn’t be a year deep into this pandemic with nothing to show for it. Biden is being very honest here, and people will blame him for things not turning around immediately. Trumps actions have consequences and they will continue for a while.

It's nice to have a President who speaks in coherent sentences again.

My first cousin died Friday because she needed emergency surgery and they couldn't find a bed in her state or state next to her. Cov 19 is the cause for no beds so she died. Really

[masterblaster]

His first "C'mon Man" as President. You saw it here first.

[karabadasski]

It's a President that actually has a plan and then explains that plan. No more "I have a plan, a good plan, they say it is the best plan". Then proceeds to show a stack of papers...

[chlecziferryn]

Finally a president who takes this virus seriously and will work to get people safely back to work for our economy and help struggling Americans in the process.

Did you all see that COUGH. It started

[mayrasoto]

Love all the trolls! Like they all said back in 2016: “Gonna’ have to live with it”. Thank your leader, for his incompetence and arrogance made Biden the 46 President of the USA.

I hear you Mr. President, I will wear my mask for as long as I have to in order to defeat Covid-19. My family and friends are also on board with this.

[georgesenterfitt]

This man was trying so hard not to clear his throat.

[mattmiller]

Does he not realize we have been wearing mask for ten months now.

[MsUnik]

What a joy, a glimmer of hope on the horizon! A President, who will consider the wellbeing, mental and physical health of all the peoples of this country. United we stand ... Divided we fall! God Bless, President Biden!!

[martymarc]

An actual President with a plan who believe in Science, health and education and haven’t talked about himself once.I actually hoped previous ole boy would grow into the role but didn’t.

[ibanwisp]

We are going to get through this, I’m definitely open to change in a tough time like this, let’s hope we all can be more understanding.

[thisismetoday]

True leadership, thoughtful and with only the American people's best interest at heart.
No grifting, no promotion of drugs he holds shares in, no promotion of bleach! And empathy. _This feels very unusual._
