Letter: Inauguration Day can’t come too soon
(Carolyn Kaster | AP) President-elect Joe Biden listens during a meeting with Biden's COVID-19 advisory council, Monday, Nov. 9, 2020, at The Queen theater in Wilmington, Del.
As Donald Trump spends tens of millions of dollars litigating the election he squarely lost, and insists that certain legitimate votes not be counted, I would urge him to simultaneously keep count of the daily COVID-19 infections, hospitalizations and deaths that are ravaging the country, in large part due to his continued mismanagement of this crisis.
I fully understand all the reasons for the long gap between Election Day and Inauguration Day but, just this one time, I wish the gap was much much shorter, such that the new administration could implement varied sound strategies to substantially mitigate the health and the economic impact of COVID-19. This would be done not from the golf course or whilst watching Fox & Friends.
