US records more than 4,000 deaths a day from COVID.

Washington, January 29 (RHC)-- Another 4,000 people across the United States died from COVID-19 in a period of 24 hours, as health officials warn of the most deadliest period since the pandemic began.  The Joe Biden administration projects as many 90,000 more U.S. residents will die in the next four weeks as the virus continues to spread out of control in communities in all 50 states.

Earlier this week, President Biden’s coronavirus task force met publicly for the first time – remotely over Zoom and live-streamed from the White House YouTube channel.  Biden was notably absent, allowing scientists to lead the discussion.  

Senior adviser Andy Slavitt tamped down public expectations about rapid vaccinations for most U.S. residents.  He said: “We are taking action to increase supply and increase capacity. But even so, it will be months before everyone who wants a vaccine will be able to get one.”  The race to vaccinate the U.S. comes as new coronavirus variants are spreading across the globe — with mutations that may make them more infectious and more likely to evade existing COVID-19 vaccines.
