The landing page of the website shows a “Not Found” message, saying: “The Trump plan to defeat the coronavirus and reopen safely does not exist.” There is also a prompt asking web users to Learn More.
“Donald Trump has had eight months to use science, public health, and the power of the Presidency to reopen safely and save American lives,” the site reads. “But we are barely better equipped to manage the COVID-19 threat today than we were eight months ago.”Some of the quotes include Mr Trump saying: “I said to my people ‘slow the testing down please’.”Mr Trump was also quoted as saying: “It will go away and as I say, we’re rounding the turn, we’re rounding the corner, it’s going away.
Mr Biden’s plan includes creating the wide availability of free testing, eliminating cost barriers to preventive care and treatment for COVID-19, development of a COVID-19 vaccine and deployment of supplies, personnel and facilities.
