Biden's Magic Wand

So old Joe Biden is going to solve our plague problem. He can not cure COVID any faster than the Trump team is trying, with scientists and pharmaceutical research progressing at its own pace. Biden can not conjure a vaccine. What he would have done was keep our borders open to avoid that "xenophobia" and that likely would have killed many more Americans. What he will do is issue national mandates of questionable Constitutionality and limited effectiveness and national shutdowns even in areas where COVID has not afflicted very many Americans. Biden will also hire and unionize an army of "contact tracers" which will bring the TSA experience inside your home, raise your taxes to pay for all these new government workers with lifetime jobs who will remain on the Federal payroll long after the virus is vanquished, and not slow the spread of the Coronavirus an iota, as all the tracing they do is done retrospectively and can not deter someone catching the virus going forward. Either effective treatments, herd immunity after a lot more deaths, and/or a vaccine will emerge, but I have more faith that Trump will bring treatments and a potetial cure to the market sooner than regulation king Biden who would rather see a host of new unionized Democrat voters in his contact tracing army than the elimination of the disease.
