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.

That’s never going to get old. haha
“Six-pronged - like a spike protein?”
This is all done on purpose. Everything they do. Then behind closed doors they laugh there a$$ off.
That should really help his poll numbers.
Funny...the left scrambled to inform us of that when PDJT was in office. ...now...crickets.
How very odd, considering that we have, arguably, the finest health care system in the world.🤔
Could it be that China continues to seed the virus here?
Possibly the hundreds of thousands of infected illegals pouring over our border and being illegally shipped to mostly red states?
Perhaps it's the FDA's refusal to authorize protocols using the safe and cheap drugs, Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, despite being proven by numerous studies to work very well against the virus?
Or maybe it's just that everything is being labelled covid?
I will listen so I can do the opposite.
And they will have booster shots tacked on like qualification bars on a marksmanship badge. The dutiful will have a sash of them until the vaccine finally kills them.
It’s true...Biden’s handling of the COVID crisis is the ONE area he polls strongest in...ergo, you get the Thursday address.
Can Joe count to six? Maybe this is only a 3-point plan.
You are wrong about Americans and their assent to the illogical unscientific COVID propaganda. I am sorry that you have not been able to appreciate the facts. The areas with the highest vaccination rates have the most COVID. Avoiding an immunization campaign during an epidemic is a basis tenet of infectious disease literature for exactly the effect of mutating the virus that we are experiencing because of the self serving, venial and stupid leaders.
98.4% survival rate
Why...yes...
In the 1st place, it is not for the fed to dictate-each state is responsible for what they choose to do-think Florida, Texas, etc-who have already told the fed to vete a la chin*** several times over this kind of crap-many states won’t give up those rights.
Also, there would be serious legal problems trying to force people to take a “vaccine” that has proven to be a risky treatment for many people who have allergic reactions to vaccines like flu shots, some autoimmune disorders, organ transplants, etc-especially since Mediscare and Social Security have been paid into by each person with compulsory deductions from their income each month-and you continue to pay for Mediscare for the rest of your life, having the premium for this “free healthcare” deducted from your SS income each month before it ever gets to your bank account-they might manage to mandate this risky flu shot for those getting Medicaid and/or Obamacare subsidies, since they really are getting “free” healthcare-because the rest of us pay for it with OUR taxes-but I don’t think it would work-even a lot of welfare queens have sense enough not to try a risky vaccine...
IIRC, Cuomo told Trump to suck eggs...then asked for everything except the kitchen sink.
I can remember a time when the Constitution was respected and our government was not our enemy.
BS!!!!!!!!!!
Covid is a LIE, it is about CONTROL, it is the FLU
PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would wager that he doesn’t get past 3.
Why, because a vaccine that doesn't work on the new strain or the next strain should continue to be used?
So she took an experimental medical treatment just so she could go to Hawaii? That's an AWESOME reason. I hope to hell you read her the riot act and are starting court procedures to get her kids away from her and her dimwit husband.
