Joe Biden is forming a “Public Health Advisory Committee” tasked with addressing the COVID-19. Members of Committee will advise Biden’s campaign and the public. Biden will make a statement about the epidemic on Thursday (tomorrow).
Additionally, Biden will be hosting ‘Virtual Events’ to reach potential voters.
Now, a Friday event in Chicago and a Monday stop in Miami will be turned into “virtual events,” the former vice president’s team said in a statement, hours after rolling out a “Public Health Advisory Committee” to guide the campaign that included several prominent former Obama administration officials.

Instead of campaigning in Tampa on Thursday, Mr. Biden will discuss combating the coronavirus in Wilmington, Del. Voters who support Mr. Biden often cite his experience as vice president and a former senator, and his allies see a strong response to this global health crisis as an opportunity to cast Mr. Biden as a steady, reassuring hand.
The announcement of his new advisory committee — with members including Vivek Murthy, a former Surgeon General of the United States, and Ezekiel J. Emanuel, a prominent oncologist and a vice provost at the University of Pennsylvania — also seemed designed to project calm and competence amid great national uncertainty.
