We have just days left until a new era of government begins with the swearing in and inauguration of Joe Biden as a tenant in the White House.
The event is framed by the possible absence of his successor in the change of command and the closure of Donald Trump’s internet accounts by Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.
Although they point to Trump as responsible for the attack on the Capitol, on the day of the Three Kings, there is also discussion about whether his presence on the network can be censored, leaving the decision on who can comment, or not, in the hands of those internet giants , in social networks, because freedom of expression is enshrined in the Constitution.
Biden also faces alarming unemployment figures from the pandemic.
In other words, it is better to give him waiting time because his first hundred days will not be so easy and the rest of his four years, less pleasant, due to the situation in which the country receives.
Along with Vice President Kamala Harris, President Biden will be in charge of turning the page of government that ends amid riots and protests that affect confidence in the economic future, in government and in democracy.
Therefore, from next week it is best to identify the true common enemy that is the pandemic, because the coronavirus continues to kill without distinguishing political, religious, economic, or social status.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there are almost 380 thousand deaths with about 23 million infected in the nation alone.
And the hope is in Biden’s announcements about the invitation to reconciliation to lead the country on the path of recovery and vaccination that will allow an end to the deadly virus.
Biden is expected to comply with the distribution of all available doses to immunize the population and begin to reopen companies, large or small, also return to classrooms and resume lost productivity.
Recall that the virus is changing since the pandemic began in February last year, with the new strain reported in the UK and here in our area.
In addition to Biden’s management, we depend on the Pfizer-BioNtech and Moderna vaccines reaching everyone’s arms, with no problems in dosing and with production to immunize the entire population.
If we do not succeed, we will be isolated, with no possibility of recovering the economy and jobs, so good luck, Mr. President!
