In 2009 for the swine flu, Biden says he wants his family to stay off airplanes and subways. Then he got called out for fear mongering. So he quickly Biden backtracks and says he was only talking about Mexico, and people shouldn’t avoid travel. So there we have it. How Biden would have handled coronavirus. He wouldn’t shut down a thing.

For many Freepers, this would have been the correct decision. Presidential material.

Correct or not, he would only get away with it because of the media being on his side. A Republican would not.

“I would tell members of my family — and I have — I wouldn’t go anywhere in confined places now. It’s not that it’s going to Mexico in a confined aircraft where one person sneezes, that goes all the way through the aircraft,” Biden said on NBC’s “Today” show.

“I would not be, at this point, if they had another way of transportation, suggesting they ride the subway,” he said. “From my perspective, this relates to mitigation. If you’re out in the middle of the field and someone sneezes, that’s one thing. If you’re in a closed aircraft, a closed container, a closed car, a closed classroom, that’s another thing.”
