As the coronavirus continues to wreak havoc, officials in affected countries are working around the clock to combat the spread and making sure all those who are infected get the treatment needed. Former vice president Joe Biden has also stepped up to the task of introducing his own measures, as he recently presented the team who will be involved in carrying the measures out.
Politico reports that Biden addressed the current situation regarding the coronavirus, which has since caused schools and events to shut down or get postponed. The upcoming Democratic debate between Biden and Bernie Sanders will still push through, but will no longer include a live audience. The former vice president put emphasis on the need for a unified and coordinated response to the pandemic, as well as saying that isolationism is not the answer when it comes to confronting the virus.
Biden encouraged citizens to follow the advice of public health professionals and mentioned how his own campaign is now going over alternative measures in the planned events for Chicago and Miami. He also revealed that his campaign has a strategy to fight the disease, involving free tests to those in need and providing resources to those on the front lines.
The former vice president also unveiled his public health advisory committee, established to give science-based advice in order to help minimize the health risks of the candidate, the staff, and the supporters during the campaign. Biden used his experience in dealing with the Ebola crisis in 2014 to his advantage, and some of the top members of the committee were also former Obama administration officials, like Ron Klain, Zeke Emanuel and Vivek Murphy.
Meanwhile, Biden gained another public endorsement and this time from comedian Jay Leno. The former Tonight Show host explained that the reason people like Biden is because of his character. Leno also brought up the fact that Biden only spent around $11,000 for his campaign in Massachusetts and was still able to secure the win from the state, comparing this to former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg, who spent much more on his campaign only to bow out in the end. “I mean, I like Mike Bloomberg, but it’s nice to know $600 million can’t replace character,” said Leno.
