Joe Biden's handling of COVID deserves him the Peace Prize.

[Drunken Irishman]

Okay, maybe not that much but it's remarkable.

He inherited one of the worst responses to the pandemic of any of the industrialized nations - a situation lapped by Canada and most of Europe.

Yet he was able to turn it around so rapidly that right now, the US is actually doing better in terms of vaccinating, and handling the pandemic, than most every industrialized nation - including our neighbors to the north.

This is remarkable for a country that was so behind the ball - but even more significant when you factor in just how big America is.

It's night and day ... a complete reversal from where we were under the last administration.

I really hope Biden gets the credit he deserves on this.

1. I think a Nobel Prize is definitely in order.

6. He already is an amazing POTUS.

And there is more yet to come.

He deserves recognition. Not sure that the Peace Prize is appropriate at this time, but would not be at all surprised if it is later.

7. Agree. His handling of the pandemic has been a miracle

Especially compared to the Douchebag, who left a disaster, big league.

18. The Former Guy said it would go away like a miracle.

Who knew he was referring to Biden's skill in handling it?

8. There should be multiple nominations

9. Thank you. I can finally place what he has done in context.

All I keep thinking is, "Great job, Joe!" and "The is a monumental fucking deal!" and various other simplistic exclamations but how to contextualize the enormity of the turnaround that his leadership has accomplished? What's the unit of measure? The millions who will live who would've died? The many more who will find their lives more assuredly sustainable? The hundreds of millions of lives that will return to a normalcy they had once taken for granted and now miss desperately? The Nobel Peace Prize is a good start, puts that stake in the ground; it will be left to history to handle the rest.

10. We dodged a serious bullet by electing Joe!

If we elected Trump we would be like Brazil is now, and that is a scary thought!

[WhiskeyGrinder]

11. Uh, no.

[Drunken Irishman]

14. Uh no what?

You don't think Biden is doing a good job on COVID?

Please explain.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

15. Uh, no, I don't think his handling of it deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.

[Drunken Irishman]

16. I see you didn't read my post. Well thanks for bumping it anyway.

Go back and read the very first part of it and then maybe you'll wonder why I didn't understand your flippant reply.

Have a good one.

13. Biden & trump smart & stupid get the the picture !!!!!!!

[BradBo]

17. Love it, yes.

I hate that I want to poke Trump in the eye with that but there you go!

21. rather see ya flatten his fat ass !!

19. Not sure if it qualifies for a Peace Prize, but as a member of a group, why not for medicine?

Along with Fauci and the teams for the vaccines.

20. The medicine prize is for discoveries

although they fucked up once when they considered lobotomy a major medical discovery
