Biden: Governors should issue lockdowns 'for the time being'

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said Friday he would recommend that governors across the country issue temporary lockdowns in an effort to stem the spread of coronavirus.

"For the time being, I would," Biden told CNN's Anderson Cooper when asked if he would urge governors in every state implement a lockdown for several weeks.

"You don't know who doesn't have the virus," the former vice president continued, noting that many people who may have the virus could be asymptomatic.

President Trump has so far declined to recommend a nationwide lockdown over COVID-19, something other countries such as Italy have done in an attempt to curb the spreading virus.

Take Florida for example where I live we have school closings and that's about it. Florida has almost caught up to California with infections.

My sister and her family live in Gainesville.. and he's a teacher teaching online at home.

I know he's suppose to be a trump worshipper.

DeSantis better catch on quick that he needs to do more than follow trump's advice.

potential death?

Thanks for that, Bill. I suspect he believes that the economy is going to rise on Easter, too.

many people dying.

Trump’s ineptness in handling the federal response to the pandemic has made it worse.
