-Vice President Joe Biden thank you so much

Gerund

for being a guest on our show, "At Home Edition."

Modal verbs - A2

-I'm in Wilmington, Delaware, in my recreation room at home.

I'm just getting used to what you're very used to.

-Well, a whole lot of virtual interviews.

And, you know, obviously, I'm keeping to the instructions.

I can walk around the property, but I'm not going out.

I've been, you know, keeping my distance from folks

And everybody walks in, they put on rubber gloves

I start off every day with about an hour to an hour and a half

with the medical docs I have on my team, giving me --

on the phone about the status of the coronavirus

Actually, I get up actually at 7:30, 8:00.

I work out upstairs. Keeps me a little bit sane.

And it's -- But it amazes me that everybody

is, you know, tuning in to so many different ways

what is your outlook on this whole pandemic?

the President waited too long to start taking it seriously.

This is a real problem. We know what's coming.

And we know we've got to get better at our --

And, "It's going to be like a miracle," et cetera.

That was in spite of everything he was being told

by the medical experts and the scientists

But there's still -- you know, we're in tough shape right now.

This virus is gonna hit in a real big way

in the next several weeks to a month and a half.

But we have -- there's things we could do now, Jimmy,

We still don't have enough tests out there.

Our first responders aren't having the protection they need.

Doctors don't have the protection they need.

And every single day on your network and other networks,

they're showing, and I'm getting briefed on,

the number of doctors and nurses and first responders

who are being infected by the coronavirus

So it's just -- we just have to move much, much

-Can we use any of the information that we know

For example, we know that if you have social distancing early on

and you keep it moving, that, in fact, it reduces

and people get, you know, faster than before.

President hadn't done that. Tests are critically important.

President talked about having 4 million tests available.

The President talked about being in a position where

we're gonna have every Walmart parking lot

we were gonna have drive-through testing, et cetera.

Well, there's now, after he announced that

a couple weeks ago, five in America, five are open.

There's a sense of urgency that doesn't seem to --

Only until yesterday at his press conference

did the President start to grasp the reality of what he's facing,

in terms of the number of potential deaths,

the number of people who are gonna contract the virus.
