More than 213,830 new cases and 2,861 deaths were reported yesterday, according to a Reuters tally of official data, with several experts projecting the death toll will soon surpass 3,000 per day. “On the first day I’m inaugurated ... I’m going to ask the public for 100 days to mask, just 100 days to mask, not forever, 100 days,” Biden told CNN in an interview yesterday. “And I think we’ll see a significant reduction if we incur that — if that occurs, with vaccinations and masking, to drive down the numbers considerably.”
“We’re in a very precarious situation right now. There certainly is light at the end of the tunnel with a vaccine, but we’re not there yet. So we really have to intensify our public health measures to try and blunt this trajectory,” Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told NBC’sFauci said he has accepted Biden’s offer to be his chief medical advisor, as well as keep his current position.
More than 100,000 Covid-19 patients were hospitalised in the United States, straining healthcare professionals and reducing care for people suffering other ailments.
