    well it looks like the ball is in biden's court, let's see if he puts up or shuts up.talk is cheap, he should start putting his plan, if he really has one , in motion now.

    He would have no authority until he takes office and has to actually win first.

    i am sure if he had a viable plan public opinion would win out, unless he wants to wait until, if he wins like you say,not to have it lessen under trump's watch, but if he really cares like his ads say he does, he would do all he could to get it moving.

    if biden is as passionate as he says about stopping covid he, if he wins, should use the force of his victory to start his plan, again, if he really has one now, not wait until january. if the plan is a good one, i cannot see trump or the republicans waiting, like i said, if it works and trump gets some of the credit great, the goal is to get it under control, not who gets credit.

    Why do you think he will have authority to enforce anything before he is actually the President?

    well then, let him, if he has no real authority, tell us his plan, what in entails, maybe trump will use it if it is good, maybe not, but tell us now what he will do, and if trump uses it and it works now, great, rather now than in 3 months.

    He already has. Do you think Trump will use a Biden plan during his lame duck period? Seriously? You should probably just drop this.

    This is some rare positive news in terms of potential for durable immunity. I am no expert, but I do not think that this contradicts any earlier work, I think it just demonstrates how we need to keep studying and adding to what we know. Also, it is a very small study of 100 patients, and this work has not been peer reviewed yet.
    T-cell study adds to debate over duration of COVID-19 immunity

    my point on this is that is so much easier when you are not the one responsible for what happens to continually say what that person is doing wrong, if he has a plan, tell the people this is, say the minute i am in office the plan starts, maybe there are things in it, if it is real, that ncan be done now w/o having authority telling us it is ok.everyone wants covid to end, yet we have to wait to the end of january for his plan?

    For the love of God he has already outlined his plan. A poster even gave you a link to it.
