YOUR video is from Aug and Biden's remarks were contingent on scientists recommending a national shutdown. There is no mention in the CNN story, that you referenced, of the names you listed.

This Forbes article is from Dec 4, 2020, 12:47pm EST, and it is Biden's current position. We shouldn't believe YOU.

Topline The Biden administration does not plan to institute nationwide shutdowns and prefers a targeted approach based on the number of cases and level of risk, Dr. Celine Gounder, a member of the Biden-Harris transition Covid-19 advisory board told CNN Friday.

Key Facts


The Biden administration is in favor of increasing or decreasing the level of restrictions based on how hard an area has been hit by the virus, noting it can be determined down to the risk in a certain ZIP code, and depending on the activities most likely to cause an increase in new cases, Gounder said.


The administration will consider transmission rates, Gounder said, noting the data shows schools should remain open unless there is “extremely widespread” transmission within a certain school or community.



There are plans to help schools stay open safely, Gounder said, including delivering funding for schools to purchase personal protective equipment for teachers and students.

Crucial Quote

"I think it's so unfortunate that masks have been politicized, that would be like politicizing the use of toilet paper,” Gounder said.

Big Number

500,000. More than 500,000 Americans could die from coronavirus by April 1, according to a University of Washington Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation model. Dr. Carlos del Rio, executive associate dean of Emory University School of Medicine, told CNN the model projects 66,000 lives could be saved if all Americans wear masks for the first 100 days of the Biden presidency, as President-elect Biden has urged, whereas vaccines are likely to save just 10,000 to 11,000 American lives by April 1.
