New COVID Czar

According to this report, Dr. Ashish Jha was given the job to support Biden's policy of reopening the country regardless of the cost to our health and lives. F___ing politics.

"It is unlikely that the Biden administration will adopt a more protective public health response at this point — all of their recent policies have pushed to normalize high levels of coronavirus spread and the high mortality rates that follow," Justin Feldman, an epidemiologist and Health and Human Rights Fellow at Harvard University, told The Lever. "Nothing about Jha suggests that he will try to push the White House hard on policy questions or advocate for stronger public health measures. Perhaps the best we can hope for is that Jha will use his influence to advocate for minor improvements."
