In the 3 weeks between the presidential debates:

*1 million more Americans have been infected

*20,000 more people have died due to COVID

*All states have seen a rise in COVID infections

*Our daily infections have almost doubled from

40,000 cases per day to 70,000 cases per day

*In addition, 60% of small business closures have now become

permanent.

Under Trump and Republican leadership,

we are not beating COVID,

COVID is beating us.

"When it comes to the response to the largest public health crisis of our time, our current political leaders have demonstrated that they are dangerously incompetent. We should not abet them and enable the deaths of thousands more Americans by allowing them to keep their jobs," wrote the editors of the New England Journal of Medicine in their first ever political statement in an editorial titled "Dying in a Vacuum of Leadership."

While Donald Trump and Republicans have lied about the virus, attempted to ignore the virus, downplayed the virus and undermined the messages of health experts, scientists and doctors, Joe Biden has created a plan based on these experts to control the spread of the coronavirus.

Biden has a plan to stop the virus:

* It starts with mask mandates nationwide, which health experts say can save 100,000 lives.

* Fix Trump’s testing fiasco, so you can go to work safely.

* Provide protective gear for nurses, doctors, first responders – everyone on the front lines.

* Provide funding and clear guidance for our schools and businesses so they can reopen safely.

* Promote vaccines and treatments based on science not politics.

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell has said the strength of the country's economic recovery depends on keeping the novel coronavirus under control.

Joe Biden's coronavirus plan will control the virus, allowing businesses to safely reopen and schools to resume in-person learning without rolling quarantines and continuing infections.

Joe Biden's economic plan has been endorsed by Moody's Analytics, by Goldman Sachs and by the Penn Wharton Budget Model as being better than Trump's-it will create more jobs, the average person will see an increase in their take-home pay and it will increase the GDP and reduce the debt.
