JAKARTA - Making the re-emergence of the coronavirus a priority, United States President-elect Joe Biden announced the COVID-19 task force on Monday, November 9.
Biden spent much of his campaign criticizing President Donald Trump's handling of the pandemic, which has now caused 237,000 deaths in America. The US reported a record daily new infections last week, with a total number of nearly 10 million.
Biden's victory on Saturday in Pennsylvania put him on the threshold of 270 electoral votes, which is needed by Biden to win the presidency. Trump has not given up and has vowed to take the election results in court.
The COVID-19 Task Force will be tasked with developing a blueprint for suppressing the coronavirus once Biden is sworn in in January. The COVID-19 Task Force will be led by three chairmen, namely former general surgeon Vivek Murthy, former commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) David Kessler, and Dr. Marcella Nunez-Smith of Yale University, according to two sources familiar with the issue.
"I will not exclude efforts, or commitments, to resolve this pandemic," Biden said in his victory speech in Wilmington on Saturday.
The announcement of the COVID-19 task force will kick off the start of a busy week, which will see Biden and his deputy Kamala Haris head towards a presidential transition across a number of sectors, with Biden seriously taking on the task of building his government ahead of the January 20 inauguration.
On Sunday, November 8, the new transition team will launch a new website, BuildBackBetter.com, and a new social media account, @ transition46, to provide transition information to the public.
