President-elect Joe Biden has already signalled that one of his first big jobs when he takes office will be to try to get the coronavirus pandemic under control.

To date, the US has had nearly 10 million cases and 240,000 deaths, and both measures are getting worse by the week.

* Why doesn't NSW do some mass testing in the areas of concern? Wouldn't that help flush out cases?
