Biden Criticizes Trump for Covid-19, Its Consequences

Joe Biden, Democratic presidential candidate attacked President Donald Trump, for ignoring the dangers of the Coronavirus pandemic.

He blamed Trump for thousands of avoidable deaths and pledging a coordinated national confrontation for the pandemic if he were elected to the presidency.

Biden said in an interview with CNN, "that Trump knew it but did nothing ... it's close to a crime.

Biden explicitly rejected Trump's suggestion that a Coronavirus vaccine might be available within only weeks.

He warned Americans that they could not trust what the president said in this regard.

"The idea that there will be a vaccine and that everything will be fine tomorrow is not logical," Biden said at the (CNN) conference in Mosaic, Pennsylvania.

Trump had said again on Wednesday that a vaccine against COVID-19, the disease caused by the Coronavirus, may be ready for distribution before the November 3 elections.

Most health experts, including Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said it is likely that the vaccine will not be widely available until mid-2021.

Trump accused Biden of publishing an "anti-vaccine rhetoric," while Biden assured that he would listen to scientists, not the president, about vaccine safety.

Due to fears of the COVID-19, White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said that US President Donald Trump will not go to New York on Tuesday to deliver his speech to the United Nations General Assembly, but that he will deliver the speech from the White House.

In another matter, Trump continued his attack on members of the Democratic Party.

He explained that announcing the date of launching the Corona vaccine before the specified date makes the Democrats angry.

He had confirmed in a press conference that the vaccine would be available within the next 3 to four weeks.

Trump tweeted that the Democrats are angry that the vaccine is delivered far ahead of schedule, and they hate what they see, and that saving lives should make them happy, not sad.

On the other hand, the US president stepped up his attacks on the mail vote, Thursday, without providing evidence to support his allegations.

He noted that the results of the 2020 presidential race will never be precisely determined.

This came in a tweet posted by Trump that would undermine the position of any winner, even if it was himself.

Trump, who lags behind his Democratic rival Joe Biden in opinion polls, continues to launch baseless attacks on voting by mail as it is vulnerable to fraud, although officials consider it an alternative to voting with the same person attending the polling station in light of the Coronavirus pandemic.

Election experts who have studied the US election for decades say fraud is rare.

Given the unprecedented new mass of unwanted ballot papers that will be sent to voters, or anywhere this year, the outcome of the November 3 election may never be precisely determined, which is what some wanted.

Sixteen states require an excuse not to vote in elections, such as if the voter is sick or traveling. The other 34 U.S. states allow any registered voter to request ballot by mail.

Trump claims, without evidence, that the latter system is vulnerable to fraud even though Americans have long been voting by mail.

One in four voters cast their ballot by mail in the 2016 elections.

The November 3 election is expected to be the nation's biggest test of mail voting, and the two major parties are locked in many lawsuits that will affect how millions of Americans exercise their right to vote.

Biden's campaign responded with a statement released after Trump's attack on the mail vote in July.

The American people will decide the outcome of this election.

The United States government is fully capable of getting the intruders out of the White House," said Andrew Betts, a campaign spokesman.
