@axemenace6637 I don't find that he won being "fishy." What I find "fishy" is that the media is calling it a clear win when some areas are won by only 0.5% to 1% and they're saying any doubts to that cannot be brought up. I'm sure Biden ultimately won, but I just find it strange and odd that the media is calling him the winner and anyone who questions those tight areas to be sort of odd. I also think him winning by 5 million sounds like a lot but when you consider 150 million people voted, that doesn't seem that large of a margin. When George HW Bush lost his second term attempt, a lot of people say it is similar to Joe's win by 5 million margin. But when you look at the numbers, Clinton had nearly 45 millions of the 105 million votes where as Bush got nearly 40 million of the votes whereas the total votes is in the area of 109 million votes. So the margin is very clear that Clinton won by a large fraction of the votes whereas in 2020 election, Biden won similarly to 5 million votes, but when you look at the 150 million votes, Trump has 70 million of that. That's not that big of a difference when you think about it in terms of it being nearly 50-50 where as in the 1992 election, it was a 43 % to 37.5% of the votes. In other words, the country wasn't as split as it was in 1992. A lot of people wanted Clinton, but at the same time it's clear they didn't want either party. In today's election, it's either GOP or Dem and it's getting to a point where if you're not on one side, the other side hates you.
If the media was on the side of Biden, they should be preaching what he ran on and that is unity of the country. Instead they pick sides saying either Trump won or Biden won and anyone who questions it is an outsider. The margin is very clear and it was/is a close race. The media shouldn't say anyone is the winner and should simply report that there are questions about the 0.5% to 1% area and that they plan a recount or a contest on the results. Either way the media shouldn't force an agenda down people's throat.

@frvicboi Of course not. The thing CNN, Fox, or any liberal news network won't tell you is that 97% of society won't be affected by covid-19. Covid-19 seems to really be harmful for people with pre-existing conditions and/or being elderly. With that in mind, since most of Europe and United States already had a health crisis prior to COVID-19 given that a vast majority of the population are either overweight or obese and diseases like high blood pressure and diabetic are common, it's no surprise that something like covid-19 is affecting a large percent of the population. When a disease or virus affects just 1% of the society, that is a major concern for hospitals because of the influx of new people coming in. They may not save some of those people. It seems like now we're in the political mindset that we're to be isolated and stores are close because we don't want to virus to spread. No we don't want to overwhelm the hospitals and slowly opening back up and letting people get sick will be the most helpful way to build a natural herd immunity.
With that in mind, Biden won't solve anything. As I said the enforcement ultimately comes down to the local cities and health department. There is already a shortage of police and health department is not exactly an enforcement agency so chances are if laws are passed, it won't be applied to a large segment of the population. Also, the natural course of heard immunity is that after so long, people naturally build immunity to the disease because the affected population is isolated. That's why the 1918 flu simply "disappeared" and it took decades of research by America and other countries to figure out why the 1918 flu went like it did. That created what modern things we see like iodine, rubbing alcohol and many other vaccine is a result of the 1918 pandemic.
With that said, Biden is coming in during the uptick time of the virus. By this time next year, we'll have 400-600k dead in America and probably several millions dead across the globe. Biden won't "solve" it any better than anywhere else. It'll simply disappear naturally within a year or two.

@shenanigans2749 But you see you're trying to be political about it. What I'm getting at is CNN makes it out like they're the noble people who go after the bad politicians and call them out. Now I'm not saying right-wing media like Fox is innocent in all this. But what I am getting at is that CNN and CBS are both trying to scare us into believing there will be this "3rd wave" of coronavirus by bringing on all these experts. Keep in mind right now this is AFTER Trump and for all intent and purpose, CNN is supposed to act like all will be resolved now with Biden in office. Instead they're trying to scare us. What if in mid-December a CNN reporter asked Trump about the covid-19, he tells the reporter it's going to be over and there will be no issues. So the report says, "Hmm, that's strange. I'm going to dig into this." He comes on air, tells us that, "Hey look Trump is lying to you. This is big time, they're going to have to close the airports, closed the borders, etc or else we're going to have a lot of deaths on our hands."
But nope, none of that happens. After the fact CNN and CBS act like they're all noble watching our backs and warning us about a new variant like it's going to be worst than the last one. Yeah right. Nice try CNN, and CBS. Ain't going to work.
