Joe Biden to enter White House facing public health crisis, economy in tatters and divided US
While the world is transfixed by US President Donald Trump’s refusal to concede the election, president-elect Joe Biden is facing a daunting 2021.
Biden’s administration will inherit a public health crisis and an economic crisis.
According to the COVID Tracking Project, the United States is on track to record its worst month of the pandemic in November.
Despite Trump’s repeated lies on the campaign trail that the virus was “going away”, the country surpassed 12 million cases on Saturday after recording over 1 million new cases in a seven-day period.
Hospitalisations hit record highs nationally and reported COVID-19 deaths surpassed 255,400, according to Johns Hopkins University.
