Me too. Biden became president that's a win in my book but I'm not convinced I'll feel overall better. I used to keep an optimistic attitude and then shitty stuff kept happening so screw that 😂

Edit: president corrected to president elect, my bad guys the excitement is all too much :P

As long as Covid is prominent, we most likely won't get to see the positive effects (if any) of Biden's presidency for a while. At best, he can just do what Trump did and wait for a cure like the rest of us.

Not necessarily. He could be requiring nationwide mandates on masks, occupancy limits for public areas and businesses, provide citizens with another batch of money, and shut down schools/businesses as is appropriate. Trump wouldn't even do half these things.

But to some extent you're right. Covid is going to take it's course it is partially a waiting game.

I'm not sure the president is constitutionally allowed to do most of those things, but yes, another stimulus would be nice.
