WASHINGTON (AP) โ President-elect Joe Biden is warning the United States is โstill facing a very dark winterโ as he unveils plans for addressing COVID-19 pandemic.
Even as hopes of a vaccine lifted stocks, Biden said Monday another 200,000 lives could be lost before it is widely available.
The Democratic president-elect and vice president-elect sat at separate, individual socially distanced tables and took notes as the members introduced themselves on Monday.
The task force briefing was at the Queen, a theater in downtown Wilmington, Delaware, where Bidenโs campaign built a studio and other communications infrastructure and has spent months organizing virtual meetings and speeches.
Also part of the group is Rick Bright, a whistleblower who was demoted after criticizing the Trump administrationโs pandemic response.
