In the coming weeks, the situation with CORONAVIRUS in the United States will worsen, President Joe Biden said . His speech is posted on the White House website.
The HEAD of state pointed to the danger of the delta strain, which caused a new wave of the pandemic in the country.
“Today, it accounts for more than 80% of all covid-19 cases in the United States. Experts tell us that we will see an increase in such cases in the coming weeks - a largely preventable tragedy that will get worse before it gets better," Biden said.

At the same time, according to him, the country's authorities now have tools that can prevent a lockdown. He added that despite the increase in the number of new cases of COVID-19 infection, there is no increase in the number of deaths and hospitalizations. Biden attributes this to advances in vaccination — according to him, about 165 million Americans are now vaccinated, including 80% of the elderly population.
