Joe Biden is starting to step up on his attacks on President Donald Trump. On Tuesday in Delaware, Biden criticized the president once again for his supposed failures to protect the American people from the coronavirus pandemic. The former vice president then went on to describe how the president should have acted in response to the pandemic on a month by month basis. He argued that Trump has retreated from his responsibilities as the leader of the country.

“Donald Trump is in retreat. Remember back in March…we talked about the need to act like we were at war with the virus. He called himself a wartime president…What happened?” Biden asked. “Now, it’s almost July, and it seems like our wartime president has surrendered.”

On top of his criticism of the President, Biden also released an updated version of his own pandemic response plan, which was first released in December. His plan called for more testing, improved distribution of PPEs, and accelerated development of vaccines for the virus.

However, Biden’s plans are not based on what is really happening on the ground. It is easy to criticize the overall government response right now, but the situation is really unprecedented. There is really no amount of preparation that would have been adequate for the damage that has caused by the virus. That was further aggravated by the fact that China, the country where the virus originated, tried to cover up the spread of the virus and refused to cooperate with other countries, so the world was wholly unprepared as to how bad the pandemic really is. Other countries are having a hard time containing the virus as well.

While the United States is the epicenter of the virus, the country’s medical system is not overwhelmed, and it seems that it can handle it. Unlike China and other authoritarian countries, the United States president cannot issue orders that would restrict the freedom of ordinary citizens.

There has been an increase in the number of new COVID-19 cases again in the country. The mainstream media and the Democrats have been trying to put the blame for the increase in the lockdown protests saying that they have been the main cause of the spread. At the same time, they are not mentioning how the BLM and Antifa rioters and looters also helped to spread the disease when they went on a rampage right after the death of George Floyd.
