WASHINGTON In early March, Joe Bidens presidential campaign unfurled a public health advisory committee composed of half a dozen heavyweight experts to advise on how best to operate a campaign on a trail that was becoming increasingly dangerous as coronavirus infections spread across the country.
The announcement was seemingly designed to, as the New York Times characterized it, project calm and competence less than a week after the Trump White House began its chaotic and often antagonistic daily briefings. There was a perception that Biden, in contrast, would have a foil group - a former surgeon general for every MyPillow founder.
Yet in the weeks since Bidens advisory group was put in place, the campaign staff it was intended to advise have retreated into their respective homes, and in Bidens case, the book-shelf-lined recreation room of his house in Wilmington, Del.
And while President Trump appears nightly on national television with some of the governments top health experts - even if sometimes interrupting or contradicting them - Bidens advisers are rarely heard from.
The committee was not convened to create policy, but instead brought on to provide public health advice, said Rebecca Katz, an expert in global health security and pandemic preparedness, who is on the committee.
Im here to help explain to anyone who asks - but particularly to the campaign - any questions they have in understanding whats happening with the outbreak and talking through some of the evidence that is emerging, Katz said.
While the committee by design has more of a behind-the-scenes role, as Bidens campaign is forced online, the question going forward may be whether hes disadvantaged by having such an inward-focused public health group, particularly while the White House hes running against is so outward facing.

“What has Joe Biden’s coronavirus advisory group been doing?”
Trying unsuccessfully to infect him with the virus, because even pathogens have standards.
Waiting for the kids and roaches to jump on his lap.
Feeding him pudding.
Youre funny !
Amazing this clown can be polling as well as he is with ... team, lead from behind ... Obamas former connections
And to think of the pumped up airtime Biden would get from the MSM if he had a script he could follow.
Pathetic
You would like to think an advisory group would be coming up with ways a leader could help the people he or she hopes to lead some day. However, I’m sure this group was focused on how to use the situation for his personal political gain.
Haven’t you heard?
Mike Brezsnski on Morning Joe said Joe Biden is so on-the-ball, and so prescient, he actually “saw the virus coming” ages ago.
The only problem is Joe didnt tell anybody......nobody except the Burisma people, and one of his brothers who owes him money.
So ultimately Brittany Shepherd admits, they have done nothing. If they had, we would have heard about it non stop. Thus we all knew the answer to the question that didn’t even need to be asked.
Emptying his drool cup.
Paying off little girls families?
btw, the 4,000+ comments on the original article are astonishing,namely nearly 100% negative about biden ...
Is Joe’s coronavirus advisory group going to look into Hunter’s China deals? (cackle)
SOURCE—NYPOST.com
Twelve days after Hunter stepped off Air Force Two in Beijing with his VP dad and daughter, his company signed a historic deal with the Bank of China, the state-owned financial behemoth often used as a tool of the Chinese government. The Bank of China had created a first-of-its-kind investment fund called Bohai Harvest RST (BHR). According to BHR, one of its founding partners was none other than Rosemont Seneca Partners LLC.
It was an unprecedented arrangement: the government of one of Americas fiercest competitors going into business with the son of one of Americas most powerful decision-makers.
Chris Heinz (John Kerrys stepson) claims neither he nor Rosemont Seneca Partners, the firm he had part ownership of, had any role in the deal with Bohai Harvest. Nonetheless, Biden, Archer and the Rosemont name became increasingly involved with China. Archer became the vice chairman of Bohai Harvest, helping oversee some of the funds investments.
Troublingly, some of those investments had major implications for national security.
Hunter Bidens father, the vice president, met earlier with Chinese President Hu Jintao in Washington as part of the Nuclear Security Summit.
In December 2014, BHR became an anchor investor in the IPO of China General Nuclear Power Corp. (CGN), a state-owned energy company involved in the construction of nuclear reactors. In April 2016, the US Justice Department would charge CGN with stealing nuclear secrets from the United States actions prosecutors said could cause significant damage to our national security.
Of particular interest to CGN were sensitive, American-made components that, according
CORRECTION Of particular interest to CGN were sensitive, American-made components that, according to experts, resembled components used by the US on its nuclear submarines.
IF YOUR DAD WAS VP, WHAT WOULD YOUR LIFE BE LIKE?
More evidence of the privileged life Hunter Biden leads.....made possible by a father in high-level Democrat politics.
Besides evidence of drug use which was never prosecuted, inside the vehicle Arizona L/E found:
<><> two drivers licenses both bearing Hunter Bidens legal name, Robert Biden,
<><> a Secret Service business card in Hunter Biden’s name,
<><> an Attorney Generals badge (his deceased brother was Del AG)
After leaving Arizona, was Hunter driving without a license?
Was Hunter ever cited for driving without a license?
Hunter is not in the SS. Why does he have a SS business card?
How did he get it? What does he use it for?
Has he ever falsely claimed he was a SS agent?
How did Hunter get an Attorney Generals badge?
Why does he need it? What dos he use it for?
Has Hunter ever falsely claimed he was an AG?
Pompeo blasts ‘wildly soft’ Obama-Biden coddling of Beijing: ‘Allowed China to walk all over us’

Secy of State says Biden ignores US efforts to get health experts into China to investigate coronavirus
When it comes to China policy and the U.S. presidential election, a battle is brewing about toughness. More precisely, who is tougher when it comes to dealing with the Chinese Communist Party? Trump or Biden?
For Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, the answer is obvious, and it lies in plain view in the Obama-Biden administrations record of dealing with China. Relative to this administration, they were wildly soft, the secretary of state bluntly told Just the News Thursday.
A new campaign ad by the presumptive Democrat nominee for president lambastes the president for not calling out China earlier and for failing to send American health experts to China to investigate the coronavirus. Biden is ignoring the facts, says Pompeo. This president and this administration worked diligently to work to get Americans on the ground there in China, the secretary of state said in a one-on-one interview. We were rebuffed. The Chinese government wouldn’t let it happen.
The China issue is a sensitive one for the Biden campaign. Trump and his surrogates have been hammering the former vice president as being soft on China, with Trump recently tweeting, China wants Sleepy Joe sooo badly ... Joe is an easy mark, their DREAM CANDIDATE!
Past campaign ads have also highlighted how Bidens son Hunter had lucrative business relationships with China. Pompeo opted to zero in on Bidens last time in federal office.
The previous administration allowed China to walk all over us, Pompeo says. This president has taken a fundamentally 180-degrees different approach with respect to how we respond to the challenges that China presents to American Security.”
Specifically, Pompeo points out how the Obama-Biden administration showered the Chinese government with trade benefits, while meekly acquiescing to Chinese regional military ambitions.
It was during the previous administration that the Chinese government began to arm the South China Sea, said Pompeo. The previous administration didn’t respond. It allowed them to continue to develop their capacity to move their People’s Liberation Navy out and around in the South China Sea. That was the kind of thing that the previous administration permitted.
Starting in January, after the worldwide coronavirus outbreak began, the Trump Administration tried numerous times to get CDC doctors into China but to no avail. In March, the president said he asked Chinese President Xi Jinping whether or not we could send some people, and they didnt want that.
Bidens campaign contends that the administration didnt push China hard enough. Back in February, Biden told reporters, I would insist that China allow our scientists in to make a hard determination of how it started. Bidens current campaign ad doesnt mention that two American health officials were included as part of a World Health Organization medical team that visited China back in February.
