President-Elect Biden Claims to Have a Plan to Combat COVID-19
As coronavirus cases surge around the country, President-elect Joe Biden says voters have given him a mandate to take action.
“Daily cases are skyrocketing,” Biden said in remarks Friday evening in Wilmington, Del., as the nation waited for the election to be called. “I want everyone — everyone — to know on Day 1, we’re going to put our plan to control this virus into action.”
Early Monday, Biden announced a 12-member Transition COVID-19 Advisory Board, to be led by former Food and Drug Administration commissioner Dr. David Kessler, former Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy and Dr. Marcella Nunez-Smith of the Yale University School of Medicine.
