He summoned the scientific and public health expertise, without minimizing the extreme danger of this outbreak both in terms of health and economics, outlined specific steps that need to be taken (alas, pointing out how the agencies capable of implementing these steps need to be rebuilt after being gutted by the current administration), expressed empathy and support to afflicted individuals and their families as well as to workers, and remained calm and humble. Oh, and the need for global cooperation.

A Clinton administration would have been prepared to execute these necessary steps; now a Biden administration is needed to implement them for the future. This speech gave me confidence it would do so with speed and expertise.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
