Trump’s Coronavirus Diagnosis Is a ‘Bracing Reminder,’ Biden Says

Before I start. let me explain the delay. We wanted to make sure that we’re doing everything by the numbers, and so I got two Covid tests this morning — one in Delaware and one by the former White House doc, who came up, and everything’s clear. We wanted to make sure everything was clear before I came. Look, let’s — I’d like to start by acknowledging, which I’m sure all of you do as well — sending my prayers for the health and safety of the first lady and president of the United States after they tested positive for Covid-19. My wife, Jill, and I pray that they’ll make a quick and full recovery. This is not a matter of politics. It’s a bracing reminder to all of us that we have to take this virus seriously. It’s not going away automatically. We have to do our part to be responsible — means following the science, listening to the experts, washing our hands, social distancing. It means wearing a mask in public and means encouraging others to do so as well.
