A CCP virus advisor to Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said a U.S.-wide lockdown between four and six weeks could control the pandemic and revive the economy, but only if lost wages to workers and small businesses are paid for.

Dr. Michael Osterholm, who serves as director of the Center of Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, said that while the country is locked down, people could be paid for lost wages.
