Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said he would do "whatever it takes" to combat the spread of coronavirus within the country — including locking down the U.S. if deemed necessary.
“I would shut it down; I would listen to the scientists,” Biden told ABC’s David Muir in a joint interview with his running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris, to air Sunday. “We’re going to do whatever it takes to save lives.”
Biden’s comments represent the strongest potential action the Democratic presidential nominee has proposed to stanch the spread of the virus that has killed at least 175,000 people across the U.S. as of Friday evening.

Biden cannot lock it down. He can recommend things to governors and monkey with interstate travel. That is about it.

This assumes, of course, that the lockdowns that were implemented actually had a positive effect; something that is legitimately questioned by many, and should be questioned by all open-minded people.
Virtually every position Biden has is the result of a focus group, including the wording of most of his responses and sound bites. I do not doubt that there is some of what once passed for his mind left bouncing around inside his noggin, but he has obviously lost any confidence in his positions, and has tossed aside any convictions, had he any to begin with.
He is the Dems sacrificial lamb just a Bob Dole was sent out to be defeated by Bill Clinton. The fact that some seem to take him seriously is a frightening reflection of where America is today.

Enforcing laws they dont agree with is what DEMOCRATs do.
Biden was well tutored by a mentor who believed the US Constitution was a bill of negative rights,
What is his plan to staunch the spread of stupidity in this country...other than being terminally infected himself and spreading it liberally all across the nation?
Did you see my play on the word "liberal"?
“As you know, there are Americans who are being evicted from their homes. They can’t pay their rent. Many Americans are waiting in food lines for the first time in their lives,” Blitzer noted at the beginning of the interview with Pelosi. “Can you look them in the eye, Madam Speaker, and explain why you don’t want to accept the president’s latest stimulus offer?”
Pelosi then pondered if Blitzer would “ask the same question of the Republicans” before insisting the GOP bill doesn’t meet the needs of Americans.
Blitzer asked Pelosi why she would not take the $1.8 trillion deal, referencing statements from Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., and former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang, who say she should.
"I don’t know why you’re always an apologist and many of your colleagues are apologists for the Republican position," Pelosi said.
"Ro Khanna -- that’s nice. That isn’t what we’re going to do, and nobody's waiting 'til February. I want this very much now because people need help now. But it's no use giving them a false thing just because the president wants to put a check with his name on itMost of America is working. Walmart wants to maintain the hysteria so that mom and pop stores continue to struggle and eventually go out of business.
