US President-elect Joe Biden has reminded Americans that they were at war with the coronavirus and not against each other, as he called for an end to the “grim season of division” in the country.
In a Thanksgiving address ahead of the holiday, he urged fellow
Americans to forgo high-risk holiday traditions, as cases of the virus continue to surge in the US, the worst-hit nation with over 262,100 deaths.
“I know the country’s grown weary of the fight. But we need to remember, we’re at war with the virus, not with one another. Not with each other.
“This is the moment where we need to steel our spines, redouble our efforts and recommit ourselves to the fight,” Biden said, speaking from his hometown of Wilmington, Delaware.
“Let’s remember: We’re all in this together,” the 78-year-old Democrat said on Wednesday.
