PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Joe Biden has come out with a plan that he says can jump-start an economy in free fall from the coronavirus pandemic. And he says he’s better positioned than President Donald Trump to safeguard businesses and their employees and create jobs without taking unnecessary health risks. Trump’s Democratic challenger is promising to dramatically expand testing for the virus, guarantee federal paid leave for all who get sick and create a national task force to better track the spread of the disease. The former vice president released the plan as he held an economic round table with community leaders in Philadelphia.
