President-elect Joe Biden Speaks After COVID-19 Briefing | LIVE | NowThis

BIDEN ANNOUNCES COVID-19 ADVISORY TEAM: President-elect Joe Biden delivers his first major policy-driven remarks on his plan to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. This morning the Biden-Harris transition team announced the members of the Transition COVID-19 Advisory Board who will brief Biden, Vice President-elect Harris, and other members of their staff on the latest coronavirus developments and updates. The advisory board will be led by former FDA commissioner Dr. David Kessler, former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy, and Associate Dean at Yale School of Medicine and Dr. Marcella Nunez-Smith. Other members of the board include Dr. Rick Bright, the former Trump administration whistleblower at HHS who testified before Congress that Americans died due to Pres. Trump’s inaction, and Dr. Ashish Jha, the Dean of Brown’s School of Public Health, who told NPR this morning that if the Trump administration fails to coordinate with the incoming Biden team, it could cost tens of thousands of lives.

‘Dealing with the coronavirus pandemic is one of the most important battles our administration will face, and I will be informed by science and by experts,’ says Biden. ‘The advisory board will help shape my approach to managing the surge in reported infections; ensuring vaccines are safe, effective, and distributed efficiently, equitably, and free; and protecting at-risk populations.’

A guy who is not yet president is preparing a strategy for saving lives while the other guy is just playing GOLF.

I’m not used to a US president behaving presidential anymore...:(

[Naptural]

Had to play it Twice! First time I passed out from the complete sentences and direct plan outline. Second time to actually listen to the plan! 😭😭🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[darkwinter]

I like that he's talking to you, and not bragging to you.

[kariduran]

He's making a board??? A real one??? Is this, a REASONABLE idea??!!!
Me with tears in my eyes: oh God it's beautiful...

[stephenbarnes]

Can we all take a moment to be grateful for someone who is actually speaking and not breathing into a microphone?

[faithalessandri]

I feel like an abused rescue dog who has felt kindness for the first time

[rogerfleming]

"States, cities and TRIBES" his inclusion of this population says alot.

[rawrberrys]

For those of you who want to knock him for his speaking, he grew up with an incredibly debilitating stutter and anybody with a stutter knows that it takes tons and tons of self-regulation and constant commitment to making sure you don't stutter over your words but you still slip up every now and then.

[etraziel]

[theinvisibleswordsman]

Now this is presidential. He's not blaming or lying. I forgot what a president who address the nation sounds like.

[jasminjavorina]

And THIS is how a leader speaks! God, I missed a real human President.

[niklass]

A real grown-up speech!!! Finally a sane man that doesn't act like a WWE wrestler!!!

[martijnisnothere]

This is how an American President speaks and addresses a Nation. Dignity, Respect & Empathy.

Thank you President Biden 🙏

[JohnSmith-mslu]

Good Lord I had forgotten what a President and responsible adult sounds like. It's good to hear again.

[mrkus]

Wow he hasn’t even officially got the job and he already got plans and acting on them 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 America 🇺🇸 you made me proud 😭😭😭😭

[joppippoj]

finally someone that doesn't say he's the best in everything

[pinkpandamiranda]

"we will follow the science..." Oh my god, so beautiful.
