Biden COVID Adviser Calls for Strict National Lockdown Measures

From Western Journal.com (Nov. 12):

One adviser to presumptive President-elect Joe Biden says a national COVID-19 lockdown is just what America needs.

Dr. Michael Osterholm, the director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, was among those named Monday to  Biden’s COVID-19 Transition Advisory Board.

Osterholm said that shutting down businesses across the nation for a period of four to six weeks — while having the government underwrite all lost wages — would check the spread of the disease while not taking the economy off the rails, according to CNBC.

“We could pay for a package right now to cover all of the wages, lost wages for individual workers, for losses to small companies, to medium-sized companies or city, state, county governments. We could do all of that,” he said. “If we did that, then we could lock down for four to six weeks.”

Osterholm claimed that such a step would succeed “like they did in New Zealand and Australia.” [read more]

Another lockdown is a bunch of bull crap. It won’t stop the virus from multiplying.
