Biden to announce COVID-19 task force Monday

Biden to announce COVID-19 task force Monday
Our work begins with getting covert under control. We cannot repair the economy, restore our vitality, relish life's most precious moments, hugging our grandchildren, our Children, our birthdays, weddings, graduations, all the moments that matter most to us until we get it under control. On Monday, I will name a group of leading scientists and experts as transition adviser to help take Biden Harris covert plan and converted into an action blueprint that will start on January 20th 2021. That plan will be built on bedrock. Science will be constructed out of compassion, empathy and concern. I will spare no effort none.

Biden to announce COVID-19 task force Monday
On Monday, Joe Biden will unveil a group of scientists and experts to help him craft a plan to tackle the coronavirus pandemic.Biden announced his plans to launch the COVID-19 task force during remarks at his victory party Saturday night. He said those advisers would help him take the proposals he’s released during the campaign for dealing with the pandemic — which include investments in personal protective equipment and loans for small businesses as well as plans to implement more standardized public health guidelines — and turn those proposals into a “blueprint” that he’ll enact when inaugurated president next January.Biden said the plan would be “built on bedrock science” and “constructed out of compassion, empathy and concern.” Biden made President Donald Trump’s mishandling of the pandemic a central focus of his campaign and pledged that his top priority as president would be managing the virus.Biden said that “our work begins with getting COVID under control” , adding Americans “cannot repair the economy, restore our economy or relish life’s most precious moments” without doing so.Biden will have to cope with the coronavirus, which has killed more than 230,000 Americans. Biden has promised to use his transition period to meet with the governors of every state and ask them to impose a nationwide mask-wearing mandate. He says he plans to go around any holdouts to secure such rules from county and local officials.Another key decision will be how Biden decides to deploy his running mate, California Sen. Kamala Harris. His campaign has indicated that Biden will establish a White House-level coronavirus task force like Trump did, but it's not clear if he will tap Harris to run it. Vice President Mike Pence heads the current panel.
