Coronavirus in United States LIVE Updates | US President-elect Joe Biden has pledged to make controlling the coronavirus a top priority and is likely to push for mask-wearing mandates and more fiscal stimulus to keep businesses and workers afloat.

The only ways to change the outcome, experts said, are for President Donald Trump's outgoing administration to alter its strategy or state governments to introduce stricter and more coordinated measures.
