Dr. Michael Osterholm (L), director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota and a member of President-elect Joe Biden’s coronavirus advisory board, has advocated for implementing a four to six week national lockdown and paying people for lost wages, a pandemic containment strategy that he says will limit the spread of Covid-19 while minimizing economic hardship.
