President Biden to remeber 5,00,000 death with landmark approach

A candlelit commemoration and moment of silence for the 500,000 who will have lost their lives of Covid -19 on Monday night is lined up by President Joe Biden.

Joe Biden is set to mark the latest tragic milestone of Covid deaths in the US with the heart-wrenching landmark approach.

With his wife, Jill Biden, Vice-President Kamala Harris, and her husband, Doug Emhoff, by his side, the president was expected to echo the commemoration held for Covid victims at the Lincoln Memorial the night before his inauguration.

He said then: “To heal we must remember.”

Such events implicitly underscore the vast gulf in approach and empathy levels between Biden and his predecessor in the Oval Office. Donald Trump rarely spoke about the hundreds of thousands who died on his watch. When he did it was usually to boast about his administration’s successes in fighting the pandemic.

Last April, Trump predicted that 60,000 people might die from the virus – a measure of how wrong he was, given the new tally.
