The co-chair of President-elect Joe Biden’s coronavirus task force, former Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy, said this week that the incoming Biden administration plans to avoid another nationwide lockdown with a more “targeted” approach. “I don't think this is a lockdown or not locking down. I think that's how we thought about this in the spring. So we've got to follow science, but we've got to also be more precise than we were in the spring,” said Murthy. In an interview Thursday evening with ABC News, however, Osterholm walked backed the proposal, saying he has not yet spoken to the incoming administration about a prolonged nationwide lockdown.
