Unless Biden truly intends to become an 1 term President, he can’t afford a lockdown like Trump did, and it’s likely helped cost him his re-election bid.
Biden says ‘lockdowns’ not needed to curb coronavirus variant
“President Biden said Monday that his administration was not recommending further restrictions on businesses or in-person gatherings to combat the coronavirus pandemic amid concerns about the new omicron variant.
Speaking from the Roosevelt Room, Biden described vaccinations as the best possible tool to defeat the virus and any emerging variants. He said his administration would outline a strategy to combat COVID-19 during the winter months later this week.
“On Thursday, I’ll be putting forward a detailed strategy outlining how we’re going to fight COVID this winter, not with shutdowns or lockdowns but with more widespread vaccinations, boosters, testing and more,” Biden said.” (qtd)
““If people are vaccinated and wear their mask, there is no need for the lockdown,” Biden said.” (qtd)
Inflation, supply chain crisis, and empty shelves would result in Biden being 1 term as lockdown would compound those issues tremendously. It’s simply not politically expedient at this time to recommend lockdowns.
