President Joe Biden on Thursday will present a six-pronged strategy intended to fight the spread of the highly contagious COVID Delta variant and increase U.S. COVID-19 vaccinations, the White House said on Tuesday.
The United States, which leads the world in COVID-19 cases and deaths, is struggling to stem a wave of infections driven by the variant even as officials try to persuade Americans who have resisted vaccination to get the shots.
Rising case loads have raised concerns as children head back to school, while also rattling investors and upending company return-to-office plans.
White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters traveling with Biden aboard Air Force One that he will lay out the six-pronged strategy 'working across the public and private sectors to help continue to get the pandemic under control.'
Asked about possible new mandates, Psaki said the White House would offer more details later about the plan and acknowledged that the federal government cannot broadly mandate that Americans get vaccinated.
'We need to continue to take more steps to make sure school districts are prepared and make sure communities across the country are prepared,' Psaki added.
On Wednesday, Biden is scheduled to meet with White House COVID-19 advisers.
The United States has recorded roughly 650,000 COVID-19 deaths and last week exceeded 40 million cases.
Reuters data shows that more than 20,800 people have died in the United States from COVID-19 in the past two weeks, up about 67 per cent from the prior two-week period.
Hospitalizations have grown, with seven U.S. states - Alaska, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Kentucky, Tennessee and Washington - reporting records this month.

Six pronged with the largest “prong” reserved to be rammed up our asses.
Can’t argue with that. The dirty looks I get for not wearing my mask over my nose are frequent.
To their credit, most are not as dumb as they look:
The response a snotty comment would unleash is always epic (the stupid never knew what happened; no further comment).
What do you mean?
Wake me when he closes the southern border and halts all immigration.
Keep pushing, Biden*, you poor excuse for a dog’s pizzle. Keep it up and your illegitimate administration will soon discover the, uh, “downside” of continuing to force a fed-up, increasingly angry citizenry into a corner, a no-way-out box built by tyrants. This isn’t the UK or New Zealand or, thanks be to God, Australia. No, this is the birthplace of Liberty and many, many Americans understand that Liberty and freedom are worth fighting for. Are you able to understand that simple statement?
Uh, all doo respect (minimal), phu cough, “way to go joe!”.
They so want to be able to make every decision for every state and citizen. It’s their porn addiction.
If only we could believe their numbers. How do they count covid deaths?
If govt officials hadn’t lied to us so much already, I wouldn’t be doubting them now.
Simultaneously claiming both success and failure. And the clueless keep buying it.
China has only had 95,000 cases! Amazing!
They need SOMETHING to quash that Fauci/Wuhan story that is breaking out everywhere...
We are NOW at the stage to implement our 2A right...
The reality is the longer we wait, the harder it becomes to save our Constitutional Republic.
And that is just ONE of his many deep flaws.
Biden’s approval rating is UP 5 points over the past week (Rasmussen)...maybe that is why this speech has been scheduled.
Are you SERIES?
Six-pronged - like a spike protein?
I’m thinking old 6 points is a sacrificial lamb. Soon he will no longer be needed and go on a Hoffa vacay.
I look for the Feds to mandate the vaccine in order to receive Obamacare subsides, Medicare and Social Security.
He’s probably timing this to fill up the air time over the weekend, so we don’t get to see much coverage of the 20th anniversary of the 9-11 terrorist attacks... since he’s likely setting us up for a repeat of that situation, what with the open borders and flying thousands and thousands of unvetted Afghans to be released freely in our communities.
