I don't want to anticipate too much, but I am anyway.

Biden campaign announces a public health advisory committee on the Virus
Andrew Solender (@AndrewSolender) Tweeted:
Inbox: @JoeBiden announces the formation of a public health advisory committee to address coronavirus.

It’s made up of academics and former administrators in health and security. https://t.co/OYgZPu7N9x

Reminds me of when Obama suspended his campaign during the financial crisis.

Obama did NOT suspend his campaign. John McCain did. Obama stated that a president should be able to do more than one thing in a crisis, and this made the McCain camp look really bad.

Start positioning yourself as President, Joe. Start helping the voters envision you that way. This will help them see you as a Presidential figure.

It'll also be a nice contrast. Joe Biden will have facts and truth, credibility, legitimacy, and human feeling. He won't look OR sound like a bloated crash test dummy, or an unruly kid forced to read his homework composition out loud to the rest of the class, who didn't finish the assignment, hadn't been paying attention, and didn't really want to be there in the first place.

Would be nice if it could calm people, but not sure how, make us more restless for election (AND rational approaches to the virus.)
