Biden: Situation with COVID in US to worsen soon

The situation in the US with a new wave of coronavirus caused by the spread of the Delta strain will worsen shortly before returning to normal, US President Joe Biden said at the White House, SİA informs.

“This is a much different variant than the one we dealt with previously. It’s highly transmissible, and it’s causing a new wave of cases in those who are not vaccinated. Our experts tell me that cases will go up further before they start to come back down. But while cases are on the rise, they’re not - we’re not likely to see, according to experts, a comparable rise in hospitalizations or deaths in most areas of the country. So, you have to ask yourself: Why is that? Because 164 million Americans are fully vaccinated, including 80 percent of those most vulnerable - our seniors,” he said.

“We have the tools to prevent this new wave of COVID from shutting down our businesses, our schools, our society, as we saw happen last year. But make no mistake: Vaccines are the best defense against you getting severely ill from COVID-19 - the very best defense,” Biden added.
