I`m ok. I have a test every day to see, a COVID test. I`m checked for all the strains.

I`m OK, I have a test every day, a COVID test, they check for all the strains. What I have is a 1 1/2-year-old grandson who had a cold who likes to kiss his pop. And he`s been kissing -- anyway, so, but it`s just a cold.

Today I’m back to announce our action plan to battle COVID-19 this winter. It doesn’t include shutdowns or lockdowns.

Well, we`ve got to beat it back before we shut it down. Look, it`s going to take time worldwide. In order to beat COVID, we have to shut it down worldwide.

It`s a plan that I think should unite us. I know COVID-19 has been very divisive in this country. We knew there be cases of this Omicron here in the United States this year. We`re going to fight this variance with science and speed, not…

This is a moment where we can put the divisives behind us, I hope. This a moment when we can do what we haven`t been able to do enough of through this whole pandemic, get the nation to come together, unite the nation in a common purpose…

Also, continuing to give me advice on developments as they occur. I’ve seen more -- with Dr. Fauci that I have my wife, we kid each other, but they -- look, who’s president, Fauci? But all kidding aside, I sincerely mean it.

My plan I`m announcing today pulls no punches in the fight against COVID-19. And it`s a plan I think should unite us. We knew there`d be cases of Omicron here in the United States, and it`s here. But we have the best tools, the best…

I think the Administration is trying. I think the problem here, to be perfectly honest, is the Administration did not put a lot of time and energy, into testing, and making sure we had enough tests, during the spring and summer.

The C.D.C., the Food and Drug Administration, the F.D.A. and our top public officials recommend all adults -- all adults get a booster shot when it's time.

The President's new anti-COVID measures, with a heavy emphasis on boosters, but also the reluctance, still with people, to roll up their sleeves, and a new measure of just how politically driven that decision might be.

Tonight, I am honored to stand before you to speak on the passage of one of the most transformational pieces of legislation in a generation signed into law, the bipartisan infrastructure bill. In my State of Delaware, this bill will invest…

Like my colleagues, I have heard from parents, small businesses, State officials, and even children about the devastation that illicit fentanyl has inflicted on Delaware communities and families.

The CEOs I met with this week reported that their inventories are up, shelves are well stocked and they`re ready to meet the consumer demand for the holidays.

We can do this. We can eliminate HIV transmission. We can get the epidemic under control here in the United States and in countries around the world.

Go get your booster now. Go get it now.

I think it is atrocious that we have vacancies 2, 3, or 4 years, and longer in these courts.

There is a plan in place unless somebody decides to be totally erratic.
