Forward sign order

good afternoon before i begin today's announcement let me take a few moments to thank all the law enforcement folks for all they did the military personnel from all across the federal state and local agencies to secure yesterday's inaugural activities and a special thanks to the members of the national guard from around the country it was an unprecedented situation hope will never have to be renewed again and everyone can handle with the most professionalism and duty and honor that you could be expected the president as president as commander-in-chief i always respect and revere their service and that of their families but now to today's announcement vice president harris and i were joined by members of our kova 19 team response team and dr tony fauci our chief covert medical advisor javier sarah excuse me our nominee for secretary of health and human services dr vivek murthy our nominee for surgeon general dr rochelle wolinski she's going to be the director for the centers for disease control and prevention and dr marcela nunez smith who will be leading our equity work and the coveted response and jeff zeins and natalie quillin who are managing this whole effort yesterday yesterday during my inaugural address i offered a salient prayer and of silent prayer it was both salient and silent i thought it was important that people understand what had happened that we all pay tribute to the our prayers for those 400 000 americans who've lost their lives in this pandemic on tuesday uh jill and i kamal and doug we stood at the reflecting pool in front of the lincoln memorial and joined americans all across the country to remember those 400 000 moms and dads husbands and wives children sons daughters and i said at that moment that to heal we must remember to heal we must remember it's important to do that as a nation we must also act though not just remember yet for the past year we couldn't rely on the federal government to act with the urgency and focus and coordination we needed and we have seen the tragic cost of that failure three to four thousand deaths per day to date more than 24 million americans 24 million americans have been infected to put that in context america makes up four percent of the world's population but 25 percent of the world's confirmed covet 19 cases and nearly 20 percent of all the covet 19 deaths when we have four percent of the world's population the pandemically the pandemic excuse me has disproportionately impacted on blacks latinos and native americans who are about four times as likely to be hospitalized and nearly three times more likely to die from the kova 19 pandemic than white americans hospitals are out of beds businesses are closed for good schools are caught in between and while the vaccines provide so much hope the rollout has been a dismal failure thus far so i understand the despair and frustration of so many americans and how they're feeling i understand why many governors mayors county officials tribal leaders feel like they're left on their own without a clear national plan to get them through the crisis let me be very clear things are going to continue to get worse before they get better the memorial we we held two nights ago will not be our last one unfortunately the death toll will likely top 500 000 next month the cases will continue to mount we didn't get into this mess overnight and it's going to take months for us to turn things around but let me be equally clear we will get through this we will defeat this pandemic and to a nation waiting for action let me be the clearest on this point help is on the way today today i am unveiling a national strategy on covet 19 and executive actions to beat this pandemic this plan reflects the ideas i set forward during the campaign and further refined over the past three months it consists of my transitions teams the task force tony fauci and the team here today and other experts put this plan together our national strategy is comprehensive it's based on science not politics it's based on truth not denial and it's detail you can review this entire plan this entire plan by going to whitehouse.gov it is so detailed it is over 100 it's 198 pages and and and for complete detail what we're going to do our plan starts with mounting an aggressive safe and effective vaccination campaign to meet our goal of administering 100 million shots in our first hundred days in office we're on day one this will be one of the greatest operational challenges our nation has ever undertaken and i'm committed to getting it done we're committed to getting it done and i explained as i explained last week we'll move heaven and earth to get more people vaccinated for free and create more places for them to get vaccinated to mobilize more medical teams to get shots on people's arms and to increase vaccine supply and get it out the door as fast as possible yesterday we got started we directed the federal emergency management agency fema to start standing up the first federally supported community vaccination centers with the goal of standing up 100 centers within the next month the centers for disease control and prevention will launch the federal pharmacy program to make vaccines available to communities in their local pharmacies beginning early within the i think is by the 7th or 8th of february but in very early february we'll also test the department of health and human services to prepare and expand the pool of medical professionals who can administer the vaccine who can administer the vaccine and to ensure we have enough vaccinators the people doing the vaccines to meet the nation's needs and quickly in addition to this effort our administration will be asking congress to fund the for for the funds to grow the public health workforce we also are going to take immediate steps to partner with governors mayors and other local officials who we've been talking to all along who are on the front lines of this fight we direct we redirected fema to establish a covet response liaison for each state which means every state will have a point person at the federal level to maximize cooperation between the federal government and the states and where it falls short to be made known about it may be made known immediately this is a model we used to respond to hurricanes hurricane sandy which i was deeply involved with and in just a few moments i'm going to sign a declaration to immediately begin reimbursing states 100 percent for the use of their national guards to help covert relief efforts something democrats and republican governors alike have called for but the brutal truth is it's going to take months before we can get the majority of americans vaccinated so while we increase vaccinations we're going to take steps necessary now to slow the spread of the disease as well one of our 100-day challenges is asking the american people to mask up for the first hundred days the next 99 days the mass could become a partisan issue unfortunately but it's a patriotic act but for a few months to wear a mask no vaccines the fact is that the single best thing we can do they're even more important than the vaccines because they take time to work and if we do this as americans the experts say by wearing a mask from now until april we'd save more than 50 000 lives going forward 50 000 lives so i'm asking every american to mask up for the next hundred days yesterday i signed an executive action that requires mass and social distancing on federal property today we'll be signing an additional executive action to extend masking requirements on interstate travel like on trains planes and buses and in light of the new covent variants that we're learning about we are we are we're instituting now a new measure for individuals flying into the united states from other countries in addition to wearing masks everyone flying to the united states from another country will need to test before they get on that plane before they depart and quarantine when they arrive in america our national plan launches a full-scale war time effort to address the supply shortages by ramping up production and protective equipment syringes needles you name it and when i say wartime people kind of look at me like wartime well as i said last night four hundred thousand americans have died that's more than have died in all of world war ii four hundred thousand this is a wartime undertaking today i'm signing an executive action to use the defense production act and all other available authorities to direct all federal agencies and private industry to accelerate the making of everything is needed to protect test vaccinate and take care of our people well we've already identified suppliers and we're working with them to move the plan forward now look our strategy includes a plan to safely reopen schools and businesses while protecting our workers today we're directing the department of education and the department of health and human services to immediately provide schools and communities with clear guidance and resources to safely reopen the schools and child care centers we're putting and by the way when you do that think of all the people who can get back to work be able to get back to work all the mothers and single fathers are staying home taking care of their children we're going to put the full force of the federal government behind expanding testing by launching a covet 19 pandemic testing board this effort will ensure that we get testing to where it is needed and where it's needed most helping schools and businesses reopen safely and protecting the most vulnerable like those who live in long-term long-term care facilities and for the millions of workers many of whom are people of color immigrants and low-wage workers who continue to put their lives on the line to keep this country going through the pandemic i'm calling for the enforcement of a more stringent worker safety standards so that you are better protected from this virus while you have to continue to work to protect the rest of us our plan also protects those most at risk and works for everyone of all races and urban and rural communities alike today i'm formalizing the health equity task force that we announced in the transition led by the brilliant doctor marcella nunes-smith who ensures that it's going to ensure that equality is at the core of every decision we make that includes addressing vaccine hesitancy and building trust in communities as well as fighting disinformation campaigns that are already underway above all our plan is to restore public trust we will make sure that science and public health scientists and public health experts will speak directly to you that's why you're going to hear a lot more from dr fauci again not from the president but from the real genuine experts and scientists we're going to make sure they work free from political interference and they make decisions strictly based on science and health care alone science and health alone not what the political consequences are the vice president harris and i and our entire administration will always be honest and transparent with you about both the good news and the bad we will level with you when we make a mistake we'll straight up say what happened and i said at the outset the honest truth is we're still in a dark winter of this pandemic it's going to get worse before it gets better it's going to take many months to get where we need to be progress from our plan will take time to measure as people getting infected today they don't show up as case counts for weeks and those who perish from this disease die weeks after their exposure despite the best intentions we're going to face setbacks which i will always explain to you but i also but also know we can do this if we come together that's why ultimately our plan is based on unity and all of us acting as one nation it requires families and neighbors looking out for one another health care providers and business and civic and religious and civil rights organizations and unions all relying together on a common purpose with urgency and purpose and resolve requires reasserting our global leadership which is why i took an action yesterday for the united states to rejoin the world health organization and to re-establish our global pandemic office in the national security council it requires congress coming together to provide the necessary funding in the coveted relief package and the american rescue plan that i will soon be sending to the congress i know these bold practical steps will not come cheaply but failing to do so will cost us so much more dearly i look forward to working with members of both parties in the congress we're in a national emergency and it's time we treat it like one together with the national plan as the united states of america as i said yesterday in my inaugural address there are moments in history when more is asked of a particular generation more vascops as americans than other times we are in that moment now history is going to measure whether we're up to the task i believe we are the american people have given so much already but i believe they're ready to set big goals and pursue them with courage conviction and honesty because the health of the nation is literally at stake it's not hyperbole i'm convinced the american people are ready as well to spare no effort no expense to get this done what could be more important the more people we vaccinate and the faster we do it the sooner we can put this pandemic behind us and the sooner we can build our economy back and build it back better and get back to our lives and to our loved ones we can do this we can do this if we stand together as fellow americans as the united as the united states of america so god bless those lost souls in this pandemic and their families all they left behind may god bless all of you on the front lines who define the best of who we are as americans thank you very much now i'm going to go to this desk and sign these executive actions but again this is the plan this is the plan you can go online and get it i know it's a lot of heavy reading but it's all laid out in stark detail here thank you this executive order i'm signing is strengthening supply chain this next one is keeping workers safe how to do that it's going to work this next one is ensuring equitable response i guess i should take these out this way this next one is what i referenced about traveling in america this is the promoting safe travel this last one is setting up the pandemic testing thank you this next one is studying the safe school conditions this next one is dictating the cover data that has to be maintained and recorded next one is making available [Music] october 19. the last one is our global response uh
