Biden administration officials are urging state & local officials to “buckle down,” but they’ve eschewed issuing federal criteria tying business closures, & restrictions to the level of coronavirus circulating in a given community https://t.co/8WPgHn1uIy — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Diamond @JDiamond1

For all the Biden admin has done to blunt the emerging surge, they haven't published criteria tying case levels to specific health restrictions. Many govs would likely ignore these anyway, but some experts say the criteria could give some govs cover to reimpose restrictions — PolitiTweet.org

Delta was the only major airline to hold firm on this valuable public health-minded policy throughout the pandemic. They now plan to roll it back on May 1, by which time nearly half of the US pop is estimated to get at least 1 shot & every adult will be eligible for the vaccine — PolitiTweet.org

Redfield stressed that this is his "opinion," but he's a career virologist & fmr CDC director. He said he doesn't believe the bat to human transmission theory because "normally it takes a while for it to figure out how to become more efficient in human to human transmission" — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Diamond @JDiamond1

Fmr CDC Dir. Redfield tells @drsanjaygupta he believes covid unintentionally spread from a Wuhan lab. "Most of us in a lab, when trying to grow a virus, we try to help make it grow better, and better, and better." The WHO has called this theory unlikely https://t.co/5QK4NcSltn — PolitiTweet.org

Biden started off this answer by saying he would take executive action on guns, but then said it's a question of "timing" and pointed out he's doing an infrastructure event later this week — PolitiTweet.org

A reminder that this long answer on infrastructure is in response to a question about gun control -- which tells you which ranks higher on Biden's list of priorities/issues he intends to tackle — PolitiTweet.org
