U.S. coronavirus infections and hospitalizations are continuing to rise, even as COVID-19 continues to claim more than 1,000 lives per day.  

Washington, November 22 (RHC)-- U.S. coronavirus infections and hospitalizations are continuing to rise, even as COVID-19 continues to claim more than 1,000 lives per day.  Cases among children are up 32 percent from two weeks ago, representing about a quarter of all U.S. infections.

Earlier this week, top infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci called on everyone 5 and older to get vaccinated, warning the Thanksgiving holiday could trigger a dangerous winter surge unless people take measures now to slow the spread of coronavirus.

Meanwhile, the White House said Monday 95% of federal employees have met a vaccine mandate covering 3.5 million U.S. government workers.  And the CDC added Germany and Denmark to a list of high risk destinations, amid a massive surge of COVID cases across most of Europe.
