President-Elect Biden announcing COVID task force on Monday

Quote

Joe Biden plans Monday to name a 12-member task force to combat and contain the spread of the coronavirus, sources tell Axios.

Why it matters: By announcing a COVID task force even before unveiling his senior White House staff or a single cabinet appointment, Biden is signaling that addressing the coronavirus will be the immediate priority for his transition, and then his potential administration....

... The picture: The task force will be led by three co-chairs: former Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner David Kessler and Dr. Marcella Nunez-Smith from Yale University.

Some members of the group have been advising Biden throughout the campaign, both the public policy challenges, as well as adopting health protocols for the campaign itself to prevent the spread of the virus in Biden's inner circle....

Thank God Biden won. At least now we have a chance to maybe stop or reduce this disaster. 

Thank you Karen for keeping up with this. ❤️

Karen, (you must hate the meme) I notice that you are pretty focused on one topic. So what will you be equally and fairly focused now that Biden is POTUS.

Been here 20 years, post all over the forums -many which I established. Try and look out for posts with minimal responses.  

My focus these days is for getting this pandemic virus under control by best means possible  helping to share educational info and sources.
