Coronavirus Update: White House preparing for a fall and winter COVID case surge
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday, becoming the latest political leader to contract the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which is rising across the state driven by two subvariants of the virus’s omicron variant.
Nationally, COVID cases continue to rise across the U.S. after their steep decline early in the year. The U.S. is averaging 70,410 cases a day, up 50% from two weeks ago, according to a New York Times tracker. Cases are rising in all but seven states and territories and in Hawaii, Maine and Puerto Rico are approaching or have surpassed peak levels seen during the delta-variant surge last year.
But Republicans are trying to shrink that sum to $10 billion and have taken $5 billion of global aid from the request, according to the New York Times. An administration official told the paper the Biden administration is preparing for the possibility that some 100 million Americans will become infected in fall and winter.
There are concerns that if funding is denied the government will not be able to finance a nationwide vaccine program and hundreds of thousands of people could die.
