    U.S. on ‘tipping point of another surge,’ COVID-19 experts warn.
    MarketWatch (Center) • Credibility Grade 76% • 3 min read

    [Top infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci said] while the numbers of daily new infections are significantly less than January, they have plateaued at a high number. “And if you look at what happened in Europe a few weeks ago, they’re usually a couple of weeks ahead of us in these patterns, they were coming down too, then they plateaued. And over the last week or so, they’ve had about a 9% increase in cases.”
    ...
    [Michael Osterholm, director of the University of Minnesota’s Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy told NBC] on Sunday the current vaccination rate just isn’t fast enough to stop the spread of the new variants. Osterholm said the U.K. variant has grown from 1% to 4% of all U.S. cases about a month ago to about 30% to 40% now. “What we’ve seen in Europe, when we hit that 50% mark, you see cases surge.”
    ...
    Fauci said the U.S. is on the right track, though. “Every day that goes by that we keep the lid on things will get better and better, because we’re putting now at least 2 million vaccinations into the arms of individuals each day. … So we’re going in the right direction. We just need to hang in there a bit longer.”

BEST COMMENTS

Good - Individuals and families need funds in order to boost the economy. The stimulus checks for lower income people is going right back into the economy, not into the bank as it would be for those who had enough to live off of through the pandemic.


Bad - The cost is astronomically high. Why do those that are still employed at the same level as before the pandemic need money government assistance? ...


Unsure - My understanding is every new dollar printed makes my existing do...
