Biden plans shadow coronavirus briefings
Politico ^ | 3/20/20 | Marc Caputo

Joe Biden is planning a regular shadow briefing on coronavirus to start as early as Monday to show how he would handle the crisis and address what he calls the lies and failures of President Trump.

Biden gave a preview of what’s to come in a conference call with reporters Friday, where he listed a litany of false and misleading statements from Trump, who has been holding regular White House press conferences concerning coronavirus preparedness and response that have been broadcast live on all major networks.

“President Trump stop saying false things, will ya?” Biden said. “People are worried they are really frightened, when these things don't come through. He just exacerbates their concern. Stop saying false things you think make you sound like a hero and start putting the full weight of the federal government behind finding fast, safe and effective treatments.”

Biden made his comments from his home in Wilmington, Delaware, where he has been holed up for more than a week in adherence with Centers for Disease Control guidelines that urge people to practice social distancing.

“We are on the cusp of running more Covid 19 tests available to our 330 million citizens than anyone in the world when Roche labs robotic testing goes into full swing after moving from a standing start against an unexpected pandemic”.

Testing is Trump’s main vulnerability on Covid. Iirc a million tests were supposed to be delivered over a week ago but people still can’t be tested. Every other country seems to have plenty of tests except us. Why?

Wasn’t Joe the Vice President in 2009?
Didn’t 12,500 people die from H1N1 in the United States, in 2009?
Joe, I’m a little confused...tell me again, how you would handle a virus?

Biden’s briefing plan seems useless, divisive and a potential gaff fest. Go for it Joe.

He would have got a lot more bang for his buck playing a part on a TV drama like West Wing, or Designated Survivor, where the left fantasizes how current events would play out if THEY were in charge.

Even idiots won’t pay attention to Slow Joe during an actual crisis.

Someone needs to ask him if this is worse than it was in 1919.

Anyone who looks to Joe Biden for leadership is beyond any help.

Just two days ago I saw a Biden ad on OAN and he was saying “We gotta all come together, no more politics, we’re all in this together ... blah blah blah” and now he’s flipped 180 again.

What a loon.

Deliberately trying to undermine the president during a national emergency for his own political gain?
Sounds like a bad idea, Joe.

This will backfire because people will see that he’s working AGAINST solving the problem and hoping for people to get the virus.

Bernie was always for sale. He’s bought and paid for and shipped off to a beach somewhere. His stupid supporters screwed again. Biden is preparing to make a gigantic ass of himself which won’t take long.

The "people" in that guidance was referring to nursing home residents! ;-)
