Biden to announce COVID-19 task force Monday

[left-of-center2012]

President-elect Joe Biden is expected to announce his COVID-19 task force on Monday, Axios reported. The 12-member group will reportedly be co-led by former Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, former Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner David Kessler and Yale University professor Marcella Nunez-Smith.

The New York Times reported on Friday that Murthy, who was surgeon general from 2014 to 2017, is expected to play a key role in the Biden administration. He has advised Biden for months on the coronavirus pandemic.

Kessler served as FDA commissioner from 1990 to 1997 and is now the board chair at the Centers for Science in the Public Interest.

Other members of the task force were advisers to Biden during the campaign, according to Axios.

7. And Mike Pence isn't on that list, either

After all the experience Pence had from heading up Trump's Covid task force, you'd think he'd be the natural choice.
