Summary:
Assuming Trump recovers from the coronavirus and resumes campaigning, this is what I would like to hear from Joe Biden (perhaps at a debate): Like all Americans, I am glad you recovered and avoided serious damage to your health. But I also think that you owe an apology to all the Americans who have lost family members to the coronavirus or who are suffering from serious health complications. The fact is, when they were suffering from this terrible disease, you refused to take it seriously. You lied about it the health risks. You encouraged people not to wear masks. When they got sick, you joked that they should inject themselves with bleach. You told them to use untested and potentially dangerous medications. But when you got sick, you took the

When they got sick, you joked that they should inject themselves with bleach. You told them to use untested and potentially dangerous medications.But when you got sick, you took the disease very seriously. You got access to the most advanced experimental drugs.
