On 50th day of Presidency Biden promises to bring back America

Washington: President Joe Biden has assured his countrymen that 'America is coming back' as it is on a path to defeat the deadly coronavirus and revive the economy badly hit by the pandemic. The US is the worst-hit country with the world's highest number of confirmed cases and deaths at 29,150,068 and 529,102, respectively, according to Johns Hopkins University. Some 18 million Americans are still relying on unemployment insurance and some 400,000 small businesses have permanently closed their doors. "America is coming back," Biden said in his maiden prime time address to the nation on Thursday on the 50th day of his presidency.

"The development, manufacture, distribution of vaccines in record time is a true miracle of science. It's one of the most extraordinary achievements any country has ever accomplished. We also just saw the Perseverance rover land on Mars, stunning images of our dreams that are now reality, another example of the extraordinary American ingenuity, commitment, and belief in science and one another," he said.
