We have so many more tools we developed and we continue to develop that can contain COVID and other strains of COVID.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s comments about how he thinks coronavirus is not \u201chere to stay\u201d and that his administration can develop strategies to \u201ccontain\u201d it do appear to challenge the advice that Biden was given by six experts this week.<\/p>\n<p>Biden previously promised on the campaign trail that he was going to \u201cshut down the virus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Six former advisers who counseled him during the presidential transition wrote this week in the Journal of the American Medical Association that it was time for Biden to change strategies to something geared toward living with the virus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe authors are all big names in American medicine. Several, including Dr. Luciana Borio, a former acting chief scientist at the Food and Drug Administration, and Dr. David Michaels, a former head of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, have held high-ranking government positions. The driving force behind the articles is Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, an oncologist, medical ethicist and University of Pennsylvania professor who advised former President Barack Obama,\u201d The New York Times <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/live\/2022\/01\/06\/world\/omicron-covid-vaccine-tests\">reported<\/a>. \u201cThey say the first thing the administration needs to do is take a broader vision, by recognizing that Covid-19 is here to stay. In one article, Dr. Emanuel and two co-authors \u2014 Michael T. Osterholm, an epidemiologist at the University of Minnesota, and Dr. Celine Gounder, an infectious disease expert at New York University \u2014 pointedly note that in July, Mr. Biden proclaimed that \u2018we\u2019ve gained the upper hand against this virus,\u2019 which in retrospect was clearly not the case.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo be better prepared for inevitable outbreaks, they suggest that the administration lay out goals and specific benchmarks, including what number of hospitalizations and deaths from respiratory viruses, including the coronavirus, that should trigger emergency measures,\u201d the report added. \u201cThe authors say the administration needs to acknowledge that Omicron may not mark the end of the pandemic \u2014 and to plan for a future that they concede is unknowable. They also make clear that the current rate of Covid hospitalizations and deaths is unacceptably high.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The CDC&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20210121045133\/https:\/\/covid.cdc.gov\/covid-data-tracker\/#cases_casesper100klast7days\">reported<\/a>&nbsp;that on January 20, 2021, at 1:16 p.m., there were 400,306 deaths recorded in the U.S. from the coronavirus.
