Biden: There Is 'No Federal Solution' to COVID-19 Response

No federal solution... that the people who operate this President are willing to take... would have been a more accurate way to put it. Seal the border, increase travel bans, impose a nation wide mask mandate.

 

You were complaining about Newsmax, so the closest quote in the article I could find was this:

"Biden quickly responded that ''there is no federal solution'' to COVID-19.

''This gets solved at the state level,'' he added."

So are you arguing that the quote is false or out of context, and if it's out of context, how so exactly? What is the context?

 

Could you send me a Covid-Test? Because, they are nowhere to be found here. Also, the car vehicle line waiting to get a Covid-test, was backed up significantly today by my home. I would have waited in that line easily for 3 hours. And all of those carbon emissions! Aiyee!
What are those “lots of Covid measures in place since Delta”?

 

Who appointed you to make the decision that NewsMax isn’t an acceptable news source? Confirmation bias?
Actually DeSantis and Abbott among others have had better covid plans than big urban blue states did

 

We stopped listening to that vile thing long ago…

Implement Widespread Testing-and-Tracing

The Trump Fiasco: The failure to test swiftly and broadly led to the failure to get the virus under control. After deflecting blame for months, Donald Trump has repeatedly doubled down on his orders to slow down testing. It is unacceptable that with cases surging in some parts of the country and Americans urged to go back to work in others, we still do not have the basic capacity in testing and contact tracing we need to sustainably manage this virus. In Arizona, this past week, Americans with COVID-19 have had to wait in baking hot cars in miles-long lines for a test, and those were the lucky ones who had an appointment. In March, Donald Trump claimed that every American who wanted a test could get one. It was a lie then. It’s still a lie.

The Biden Plan:

• Stand up a Pandemic Testing Board to massively surge a nationwide campaign and guarantee regular, reliable, and free access to testingfor all, including every worker called back on the job .
• Double the number of drive-through testing sites and increase the numbers until there are no more lines.
• Build a national contact tracing workforce, starting by hiring at least 100,000 Americans and equipping sorely under-resourced public health departments with the resources they need to spot and stop outbreaks.

 

From CNBC: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/10/23/joe-biden-lays-out-a-detailed-plan-to-fight-coronavirus-.html

The speech showcased the sharp divide between President Donald Trump’s approach to combating the virus, which relies heavily on shifting authority and responsibility for pandemic response onto states, and Biden’s more centralized plan.

There is enough irony here to build a battleship.

 

And, a Carrier.

 

Wait, so the worst President in 75 years is taking credit for private entrepreneurship(home tests distributed)? Yeah, that sounds about right. The 2022 mid terms and 2024 presidential election cannot come soon enough to through the voting process change the course of this country to a positive direction.

Thing is, we still have 3 years of a President Biden so who knows how the landscape will look from now and then.

 

Yeah, that's why Trump is begging his base to get vaccinated. 2024 isn't that far away and his antivaxx, antimask voting base keeps dropping like flies.

 

Prove it. Prove the unvaccinated, unmasked are dropping like flies.

 

Man, I am feeling the love from my fellow American across the aisle. You must be a hoot at parties.

 

Also, prove he's BEGGING people to get vaccinated.

Trump has always been a proponent of freedom to choose.

Another also, there are plenty of conservatives who are fully vaccinated.

 

So brandon lied, and people died.

Is it really shocking that a democrat lied?

 

It's expected.

 

He can ban mask mandates.

 

I’m not anti vaccine. I’m anti mandates. Period. Trump of course is going to take credit for his Trump vaccines. I never wear a mask except in medical facilities. I’m vaccinated. I’m not going to get the booster though as I had several side effects from the vaccine

 

No!

 

No, I was rightfully pointing out newsmax is a bad source, and as such automatic grounds for dismissal. You as usual, put words in my mouth. Like you are right now. This is why you're on my ignore list. You do this, all the time. And you're just going to ignore that I said I was responding to the OP's remarks, like you do, all the time. Who said the Biden administration is abandoning the states. Keep this up and I'm just going to go back to ignoring you again.

No it's about the OP, which my points are directly responding to. This is about the OP's response to Biden, who is lying about what Biden said.

Honestly? Yeah they're hard to get. But they're available to the wider public now. Can you saw we had the same things a couple of months ago, or even a year ago?

"We rate Newsmax Right Biased and Questionable based on the promotion of conspiracy theories and pseudoscience as well as numerous failed fact checks."

Cite bad sources, your argument is immediately lost.

Sure, "private entrepreneurship", whatever you need to tell yourself.

 

I'm not vaccinated and, have no plans to be.

Getting vaccinated should be a choice, not a mandate, I'm against anything I'm ordered to do because, I know myself, they don't.

I don't care if Trump IS encouraging people to get vaccinated, it doesn't persuade me.

I don't wear a mask either, no place around here requires them, the people who still wear them, are doing so by choice......I respect that.

 

Trump is, and has always been anti mandate for the vaxx.

Nothing has changed.

Most conservatives feel the same.

 

I have never understood this argument and attitude. I want to ask a serious question-what should happen if people have a "choice" in the matter? Like if we let everyone make their own decision on their own, what should the outcome be?

 

Regarding vaccinations? I guess people would get vaccinated if they wanted to and, pass on it, if they don't.

Do you believe people should be forced to get vaccinated against their will?

That, in my opinion, has far more sinister implications than, people not getting vaccinated.

I'm not seeing any advantages to these vaccines, I'm not seeing anything that's more positive in people who are vaccinated, than those who are not.

For myself, I see no reason to inject a substance into my body, I neither want or, need, I believe I'm better off without.

What negative outcome do you see, if everyone isn't vaccinated?

 

Yes, they are nowhere to be found here. I had to have a minor surgery last December and had to wait in the car vehicle line for about 45 minutes to get my test. Today, the main road was clogged from the extremely long line of cars waiting in the testing queue. I had never seen it like that. The other testing site I avoid as the traffic pattern is even worse with the car vehicle line.

I consider myself lucky, because I am not having major or minor surgery soon, nor am I traveling out of the country for the holidays, so I do not need a test, but if you feel crummy, it would be nice to test and confirm. But that ain’t happening.

You have to admit, the Biden Administration has dropped the ball here majorly. Even some LW journalists are calling this.

 

Do you mean, what should happen to the people who refuse to be vaccinated?

Nothing.
