We can get businesses to help us develop a national streamwork for quality Work Experience and why every young person should be entitled to it. Could this happen in the campaign where completely different areas have completely different circumstances . Not every area can say the same. How could we make this into a National Campaign . Maybe thats the point. No young person should be held back because of where theyre from. That is something we champion as a youth parliament. Why couldnt we champion this message of equality through a campaign . However, even if we did manage to get Work Experience for all young people, two weeks is no ones idea of productive. If we quit Work Experience in all schools wed be condemning young people and not benefiting them. It can be the reality of the work place.

The outgoing president actually held a briefing on the virus today. His first public remark since joe biden was declared president elect. He touted the progress, of course, toward a vaccine which he claimed could be available for some people as soon as next month. However, he was largely silent on the record surge in cases, the death toll, ignoring the alltime high in hospitalizations now approaching 70,000 people.

This administration will not be going to a lockdown. Hopefully whatever happens in the future who knows which administration it will be, i guess time will tell. Lockdowns cost lives and cause a lot of problems. The cure cannot be youve got to remember cannot be worse

As the nation prepares to witness a new administration take over, we do remained locked in a ruling battle with the coronavirus, a war that is taking a staggering toll every single day. And the strain of this crisis is pushing our Health Care System ever closer to the breaking point. There have now been more than 14 million confirmed infections in this country. Keep in mind we crossed the 13 million case mark just last friday. There were more than 205,000 cases recorded today alone. And so far more than 2,500 lives have been lost. Tonight in an interview on cnn president elect joe biden made it clear how much his approach to the pandemic will differ from President Trumps, starting with actually listening to dr. Anthony fauci. We spoke today at 3 00. My covid team met with him. I asked him to stay on in the exact same role hes had for the past several president s, and i asked him to be chief medical adviser for me as
