Thanks to everyone for participating -- great questions -- I hope we can do this again. I have to run -- Biden and Harris are getting a briefing today on COVID, and then the VP will be making a statement after -- I hope you will check it out. As always, you can learn more about the Biden-Harris ticket, their positions, and the campaign at JoeBiden.com. Please, please vote!

Hi Reddit!

I'm Ron Klain, I've been a long time Biden advisor, and I've worked in the Clinton-Gore and Obama-Biden administrations, serving as chief of staff to two vice presidents before leading the Obama-Biden administration's response to the Ebola Virus.

Everyone knows America is facing a real challenge from the Coronavirus. The hard truth is this pandemic didn't have to be this bad. I'm here to answer questions about how we got here, what a Biden administration would have done differently, and what we would do now to get this virus under control.

I'll be logging on and start answering questions at around 11 a.m. ET on August 13th, 2020. Can't wait to answer some of your questions!
