Biden/Harris’ plan to fight COVID-19 is comprehensive and addresses a wide variety of problems, adding evidence, PPE, jobs and economic stimulus for small businesses, local and state governments, and individuals.

The plan has unusual common sense and decency, which don’t seem so remarkable, but it is. By the time this administration enters office, we will be in this pandemic for almost a year. It is shameful and tragic that this took so long to make the minimum of progress in this direction, but at least it will take place in the end.
Not that Trump’s team makes it easy. They are doing everything they can to avoid (or at least slow down) the transition. Trump has refused to officially concede the election and Rudy Giuliani is still here to complain about the fraud.
Additionally, the Trump appointee heading the General Services Administration has yet to sign the necessary letter to allow the new administration to officially begin its transition.

Instead, he is taking his time, making plans to wait until December 14, a deadline to certify electoral school votes, meaning Biden-Harris groups would lose five weeks of paintings while they wait for the construction officer to give them the green light. .
