Washington, May 12 (RHC)-- The Joe Biden administration is warning a new wave of COVID-19 could infect 100 million people in the United States this fall and winter.
The White House issued the warning as it called on Congress to approve $22.5 billion in new pandemic funding.
Dr. Ashish Jha, the White House COVID-19 response coordinator, spoke to ABC News, saying: “We’re looking at a range of models, both internal and external models, and what they’re predicting is that if we don’t get ahead of this thing, we’re going to have a lot of waning immunity. This virus continues to evolve, and we may see a pretty sizable wave of infections, hospitalizations and deaths this fall and winter.”
