Joe Biden Reveals He Won’t Be President Till 2021, Tells Americans What To Do

U.S. President-elect Joe Biden has revealed that he won’t be president until January 20th, 2021.

He stressed the importance of wearing masks in his first press conference since declaring his victory.

Biden insisting on the simple act of wearing a mask may save tens of thousands of lives. He tweeted this on his official Twitter account;

Biden’s remarks marked a sharp contract from those of Trump, who has consistently refused to wear a mask in public, and up until the very last minute of the presidential election, held on Tuesday, claimed the country was “rounding the corner” on the COVID-19 pandemic.

The call came only hours after an American pharmaceutical company, Pfizer, said an early analysis of data from its coronavirus vaccine trial showed the vaccine to be more than 90 percent effective.

“As you work toward a safe and effective vaccine, you know the single most effective thing we can do to stop the spread of COVID is (to) wear a mask,”

Biden told a press conference in Wilmington, Delaware, where he declared victory in the presidential election against President Donald Trump on Saturday.

As of Sunday, more than 9.8 million Americans have been infected with the new coronavirus, while more than 236,000 have died, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The United States has one-fifth of the worldwide coronavirus cases, but only 4 percent of the world’s population.

The president-election also put together a new COVID-19 transition advisory board, which he said will help put his COVID plans into action as soon as he is sworn in.
