plutherusWallace: "What about swine flu?"
Biden: 14,000 died. We didn't have a recession. We took action. It was horrible. But it wasn't anywhere near 200,000
I was disappointed he didn't point out that they came up with a pandemic response team because of it, which trump promptly dismantled.
Biden: We don't trust that there'll be a vaccine in two weeks.
Wallace: All your top scientists have contradicted you. Are they wrong?
Trump: I don't speak to the scientists, I talked to the companies, and they're right. (sniff)
He isn't sniffing as much as he has in past debates, but still a little bit.
Biden: You said, it'll be gone by easter. You mentioned injecting bleach.
"I was saying it sarcastically!"
"Hopefully we will have a vaccine, but the scientists said it'll be at least summer"
Biden: Yes, you can trust the scientists. Most of them don't work for him, their jobs don't depend on him. You can trust them. Not him.
Donald goes off on the economy, (his economy - the best ever) - and claims biden isn't smart like he is.
Wallace: Can we reopen?
Biden: You need a plan! You can't just say they're opening, you need a plan. You need the money, you need to provide PPE. We all want to reopen, but you need a plan.
trump: He wants to shut down the country, and I want to open it. That's what's important.
Wallace: What about masks? Are you questioning the effectiveness of masks?
Trump: No. I wear one when it's necessary, not like him that always has one.
Biden: Masks make a big difference -- his own CDC head said that if we just all did masks and social distancing from the beginning
Trump: We have had no problem with disease spread at my rallies. Tremendous crowds. 35, 40 thousand. No issues.
Nobody called him out on that. Again, I was disappointed that Biden didn't point out all the incidents of covid linked to trump's rallies.
Biden: Note how he stays far away from the crowd. He's not worried about you, just himself.
