The MOST IMPORTANT first step of Biden's plan was implementation on Day One of CONSISTENT MESSAGING.
COVID IS OUR #1 PRIORITY BECAUSE THE ECONOMY CANNOT RECOVER UNTIL COVID IS UNDER CONTROL.
WEAR A MASK.
GET TESTED
Did Trump ever say any of those things with any consistency? Of course, not.
Trump, ever the believer in feeding lies to the people, denied COVID would become a problem and denied it was a problem when it became a problem.
Trump undercut and mocked governors who attempted to implement mask wearing and other containment measures, he mocked them, he mocked masking wearing in public himself by not wearing a mask - and guess what - HE CAUGHT COVID. Only b/c Trump was infused with REGENERON on Day One was his case very short-lived.
Trump discouraged testing because the increase in cases disclosed by testing reflected badly on his administration. Therefore, no testing, no new cases to report. Jaw-droppingly irresponsible, dangerous - not to mention stupid.
In its last months, the Trump White House admitted it had no plan other than therapeutics and vaccine, and had given up on controlling the spread of Covid. It would go where it would go:
And that was day 2. Since then? Led with consistent advice based on science. No "it will get to like 15 people and then just go away" nonsense. Put professionals in charge, not lackeys whose major job qualification was loyalty to Trump.

Yet, we are still waiting for Joe’s plan, if any to happen.
You must not live in the USA. The government's response is all around us and in only 34 days so much change has occurred, despite a non-existent cooperative transition period between administrations. The vaccine is actually getting into people's arms, now, due to an immediate priority shift in focusing on the problem and diving in with solutions. First step was to determine the mess and unravel the mess left behind. Which our current leadership did.
A new framework for getting the vaccine to us and into our arms was presented on Jan 21. ( day after inauguration)
*things such as working toward creating federal community vaccination centers in stadiums, gymnasiums and conference centers staffed with thousands of additional workers, some of them from federal agencies and the military, as well as first responders and trained volunteers ...these have started to appear across the country.
* By utilizing the Defense Production Act this administration has sped up production and shipping of the vaccine. By February 15th the weekly vaccine supply going out to states was increased by more than 20%.
*We now have coordination between federal and state governments on vaccine distribution efforts and other related concerns and issues regarding the pandemic. This means way more than this simple sentence sounds...exclamation point.
The above are just a few examples of what good government, that has the goal of we the people in mind, can accomplish---all people in mind, no matter their political persuasion. IMO the naysayers of this thread continue to see and promote this public health crisis as a partisan issue when it is not. Vaccinations are up, deaths and new infections are down and the question of beating the pandemic is now more when than if. The information about all of it is being communicated to the citizenry in truthful and factual terms based on science from the professionals and experts who are trying to solve this public health crisis and the associated national and economic security issues that accompany pandemics.

It looks like telling everyone to wear 2 masks and making masks mandatory on federal property did absolutely nothing.
Great job, Biden. You and your supporters killed over 100,000 Americans because of your stupid response. Biden actually laid the groundwork for this when the Obama/Biden administration failed to plan for a pandemic.
This is actually one of the most absolutely moronic posts I've read on CD in all these years.
I don't get why we attack Biden when Trump didn't even have a plan and y'all gave him a pass. What a bunch of partisan hacks. At this point seems like Biden has a plan versus Trump who didnt.
I've been attacking Trump the whole time. I'll give Biden another month to evaluate how his plan is working.
There's no doubt Trump is the worst President in US history due primarily to his handling of this virus and his failure to concede the election.
What we will see happen as "cases" naturally fall, is the same people dog piling on Trump will hail Biden as the reason for the decline. Such is the shallow thinking of society.
