'No national shutdown. No national shutdown.' Joe Biden rules out nationwide lockdown over COVID as he holds talks with governors on mounting crisis

President-elect Joe Biden said he would not seek to order a nation-wide shutdown even as coronavirus infections spread nationwide and deaths hit 250,000.

'Everybody asks that question every single time,' Biden said, flashing some annoyance when asked if he would order businesses around the country to close as the pandemic raged.

He referenced his own earlier comments on the subject, and said: 'The answer was I would follow the science. I am not going to shutdown the economy, period.'

So Biden says he would follow the science, but says he would have no national shut down. What is science said you had to have a national shut down, then what would he do? Or, more to the point what would his handlers do. From what we saw in his press conference today he couldn’t even string two sentences together without stumbling over every single word.

Biden was known as the senator from MBNA, before it was acquired by Bank of America. He’s no socialist. That’s why Wall Street flocked to him in a way it would not have flocked to Sanders.

Red Herring "report"

Biden is meeting with Governors to ascertain where he'll fall in a House vote (if it comes to that) for President.

Hey Joe:

You lost the election and you got caught trying to steal it. 72 million patriots are going to shut you down. You will never be President.

Joe Biden does not know enough about real science to be ABLE to follow it, as the pseudo-science that has been built up around the myths established early on about COVID-19 Wuhan virus are so deeply rooted, any honest appraisal of the actual state of the spread, progression, therapies, and prevention of the disease is now so muddied that a large number of the avenues to combat it are entirely blocked. So failed “remedies” are pursued again and again.

The Democrat Socialists know even less about pandemic control than they know about economics.

The bum should be in prison. As the head of a crime family who sold out the USA to china, he should be convicted and receive the max sentences...as well as his extended crime family.

A nearby state now mandates masks if you are in a “public place” even if you are more than 6 ft apart. So if you are say hiking alone in the woods you have to wear a mask brace that’s what they claim the science says now.
