President-elect Joe Biden's first event after arriving in Washington on Tuesday, along with Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, was to take part in an evening ceremony at the Reflecting Pool near the Lincoln Memorial to honor the 400,000 American lives lost to COVID-19.

"To heal, we must remember," President-elect Joe Biden said. "It's hard sometimes to remember, but that's how we heal."

"It's important to do that as a nation," he said.

Rows of white rectangular monoliths line the north and south sides of the Reflecting Pool were lit up as the sun went down.

Inaugural organizers on Monday finished installing some 200,000 U.S., state and territorial flags on the National Mall, a display to represent the American people who couldn't come to the inauguration, which is restricted under the tight security and Covid restrictions.

It's also a reminder of all the president-elect faces as he looks to steer the nation through the pandemic with infections and deaths soaring.

Out of the starting gate, Biden and his team are intent on moving quickly to speed up the distribution of vaccinations to anxious Americans and pass his $1.9 trillion virus relief package, which includes quick payments to many people and an increase in the minimum wage to $15 an hour.

This first feckless act after arriving in Washington will be only the first of many for faux-President Biden.

400,000 people are still dead Ron. When we reach 500,000 Biden will be much less joyful about it but it will still be Trump's fault.

Steve, this is still TRUMP'S Watch until 12:01 tomorrow afternoon. Who else is supposed to take the blame for a slow start backed up by LIES about covid 19? You remember Trump saying it will all magically GO AWAY, don't you?

Trump got us the vaccine in record time. Biden will be a disaster rolling it out, just like the Democ rats have been so far. Biden could have waited a day for his phony ceremony but he just couldn't contain his happiness pretending he's a good guy.

Man, these Vaccines was not made for the coronavirus 19 breakout. These vaccines have been on the market for years Especially the cocktail that Trump took.

So, let us talk about this video report of current events, like the light ceremony At the reflecting pond in Washington D.C. for instants.

It meant nothing. It was a run-of-the-mill political stunt.
