Joe Biden, the President of the United States, announced on a televised interview on Thursday that he would direct all states’ officials to make all adults eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine by 1st May and urged nationals to stay cautious against the deadly virus. He made the above announcement hours after he signed a $1.9 trillion House-passed stimulus bill into law.

In a somber speech on the first anniversary of the coronavirus lockdown, the President expresses that he was working to speed coronavirus vaccinations to create a greater sense of normality in the country by the 4th July Independence Day holiday and that date is the latest goal for Biden. The Democratic President also warned Americans that they might face further pain and death from the COVID-19 that previously killed over 530,000 people in the country, the highest deaths globally and cost millions of jobs amid virus-related lockdowns and restrictions.

Biden adds that it was different for everyone, and everybody lost something. Furthermore, the virus met with denials for days, then weeks, then months, and it led to more infections, more deaths, more loneliness, and more stress. However, as the fiscal stimulus package from the recently passed relief bill reaches a mounting number of vaccinated people.

Biden past Promise to tackle the pandemic more effectively than Trump

Joe Biden said that more American troops would help in the vaccination effort, adding that friends and families should able to gather again in small groups by 4th July, a holiday that several Americans celebrate with outside parties, fireworks, and hot dogs. Moreover, the White House is seeking to expand the pool of people able to administer vaccine shots to include paramedics, medical students, dentists, veterinarians, and optometrists.

Last year, Biden campaigned on a promise that he would tackle the coronavirus pandemic more effectively than then-President Donald Trump, and he sought to model behavior, like mask-wearing and social distancing, that Trump mostly avoided. The president encouraged nationals to keep up mitigation efforts – practicing good hygiene, wearing masks and keeping social distancing – to stop the virus spread as the pace of vaccinations increases. Several U.S. states are easing restrictions and lockdown measures.

Furthermore, Biden said that the nation faced and overcame one of the darkest and toughest periods in the history of the country. But he promised to come out stronger from the darkest ever period.

Biden signed the $1.9 Trillion Bill into Law

The Democrat President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan of $1.9 trillion into law. Moreover, the bill designed as a financial bridge to hard-hit nationals and a boost to the country’s economy. The recent package is a major political victory for Biden less than two months in the office. In addition, the president and his administration’s top members will embark on a victory lap in the coming few weeks to praise and explain the legislation, which receives final approval from the United States House of Representatives on Wednesday.

Biden expresses before signing the bill into law, and this historic legislation is about reconstructing the backbone of this country and giving people in the country – middle-class folks, working people, a fighting chance, and the people who built the country. So, the approved package provides $400 billion for $1400 direct payments to maximum Americans, $350 billion in relief to local and state governments, increased funding for coronavirus vaccine distribution, and an expansion of the child tax credit. However, the House passed a bill without a single vote from Republican lawmakers, who criticized the price tag as too steep.

Moreover, the president will discuss the benefits of the coronavirus pandemic relief bill during his trips to Pennsylvania next Tuesday and Atlanta on 19th March. The lockdown because of the virus started under the Trump administration, who played down the crisis in its initial stages while repetitively forecasting the virus would soon disappear even as his government pushed to accelerate vaccine development. Trump and former first lady Melina Trump didn’t appear in a public service announcement released on Thursday encouraging coronavirus vaccinations and featuring all of the other living former United States president and their wives.
