This is a quote attributed to Thomas Paine, from the 1700's. It was later modified by General George Patton, who said, "Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way."
I can't think of a more fitting quote to describe how Joe Biden should proceed with his desire to get the Coronovirus under control. President Trump is definitely not leading on this urgent matter. He's not following either, because there's no policy to follow. So, Mr. President, get out of the way and let the president elect, Joe Biden, lead us out of the abyss.
At a time when over 172,000 new positive cases were identified in early November and over 115,000 Americans are DYING everyday, we need a strategy, a well ordered plan, to get more aggressive testing and tracing going, a distribution plan ready to go when the vaccine is ready, and a national plan that all can follow. We CAN do this if everyone cooperates. We have had no clear leadership on the virus for the past 8 months. Joe Biden desperately wants to beat this virus. Let him do his job.
Why is the Trump administration blocking the duly elected president's efforts to work towards a peaceful transition of power, and a seamless transfer of duties by those working on the virus? It makes no sense to me. He clearly knows he will not be president on January 20, 2021. So, please Mr. President, get out of the way and let the new administration do their job, so they are ready and able to crush this virus as soon as possible after they take office.
