President-elect Biden unveiled his coronavirus task force this morning, which will be chaired by former Surgeon General Vivek Murthy and former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. David Kessler. It also includes former top government vaccine specialist Rick Bright, who resigned his post at the National Institutes of Health after blowing the whistle on what he called Trump’s “reckless and deadly” misinformation on the coronavirus. Biden said his pandemic plan will be “built on a bedrock of science.”

This comes as coronavirus cases continue to surge here in the U.S. as the total number of confirmed cases is around 10 million with over 237,000 deaths. At least 17 states reported single-day records for new cases Friday, and four states reported record deaths: Utah, Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota.
