Coronavirus conversations: Biden taskforce

Two members of the next US president's Covid team answer your questions

One of the first things Joe Biden announced, once it was clear he would be the next US president, was a twelve-person task force to respond to the Covid-19 pandemic. Two of the people on the taskforce spent some time with us to answer questions about how they intend to shape that response. Ms Loyce Pace and Dr Eric Goosby talk about a range of topics, including mask guidance, vaccine hesitancy and how long it will take the US to reach herd immunity.

We'll also get our regular coronavirus expert to answer your questions on the day's Covid-19 stories.

And we speak to a French football journalist who was in the stadium when players from Paris St Germain and Istanbul Basaksehir walked off the pitch over alleged racism from a match official. The match will resume later today with a new set of officials.
