WASHINGTON — Several of President Joe Biden’s former advisers want the country take a new approach to its COVID-19 response.
The group, all of whom served on Biden’s transition team, penned three opinion pieces published Thursday, Jan. 6, in the Journal of the American Medical Association suggesting an overhaul of the country’s response — focusing around what they call a “new normal” instead of eliminating the coronavirus.
Their pieces include suggested improvements to the country’s testing, mitigation and surveillance strategies, and improvements to COVID-19 vaccines and therapeutics that they say are necessary for a new normal.
