November 9, 2020 at 6:21 am EST By Taegan Goddard
The United States surging coronavirus outbreak is on pace to hit nearly 1 million new cases a week by the end of the year a scenario that could overwhelm health systems across much of the country and further complicate President-elect Joe Bidens attempts to coordinate a response, Politico reports.
Biden, who is naming his own coronavirus task force Monday, has pledged to confront new shortages of protective gear for health workers and oversee distribution of masks, test kits and vaccines while beefing up contact tracing and reengaging with the World Health Organization. He will also push Congress to pass a massive Covid-19 relief package and pressure the governors whove refused to implement mask mandates for new public health measures as cases rise.

if the governors could prevent him from bringing his COVID Rally to their respective states, since he's supposed to be going to states he lost.
