Biden on COVID-19 recovery plan: 'There's no guidance'

Former Vice President Biden on Thursday participated in a roundtable discussion in Philadelphia that included small business owners, to discuss his plans on re-opening the economy safely during the COVID-19 pandemic, emphasizing a lack of guidance from the government.

"Trump has basically had a one-point plan, open businesses.

Just open.

But it does nothing to keep workers safe and keep businesses able to stay open," Biden said.

Biden rolled out a plan on Thursday to reopen the economy, calling for expanded coronavirus testing and protective equipment for people who go back to work, paid sick leave, small-business grants, fines for businesses that do not abide by safety standards, and hiring a workforce to test the spread of the disease.
