United States: The Country Most Hard Hit by the Coronavirus Pandemic
In this case, president-elect Joe Biden has announced former public health director Vivek Murthy as head of a new group which also includes David Kessler, former FDA director and Dr. Marcella Nunez-Smith, professor and researcher at Yale University, among other experts to conduct accurate research and efficient campaigns seeking to prevent the largest number of cases possible.
In addition, he seeks the expansion of paid family leave and sick leave regardless of immigration status for pandemic reasons and, in support of the economic crisis, proposed providing $125 billion to businesses with fewer than ten employees; which happen to be 90% of Latino businesses.
Without overlooking the legal limitations that Biden has before taking office, it has been notified that both he and his transition team are moving at full speed to take action on issues and data that have been marked as "neglected and addressed without the correct importance and seriousness".
As one of his main pillars, the president-elect points out that during his term he will be in charge of restoring the lost confidence of citizens regarding the containment of the virus in the United States, as well as pointing out that his government will act governed by science.
Similarly, he spoke about implementing a national management with the support of state governors regarding that the use of masks and face coverings is fundamental for each citizen to obtain certain progress against COVID-19 at national and global levels.
The Democrat plans to carry out the hiring of 100,000 people for contact tracing at the national level, as well as increase testing sites in automobiles which will in some way boost job creation in a country suffering an important labor crisis.
And he appeals in the last days of Donald Trump as president, to use the Defense Production Act to achieve increased supply of protective equipment for health workers, distribution of tests and other items, as well as to continue supporting citizens affected by pandemic-related dismissals.
