While COVID cases are surging around the world, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is projecting a sharp decline in U.S. cases by July if enough people get vaccinated. Cases are already at their lowest level since October. On Wednesday, the U.S. reported about 44,000 daily infections and more than 750 deaths. CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky is urging adults to get vaccinated.
Dr. Rochelle Walensky: “We are not out of the woods yet, but we could be very close. All of us are getting fully vaccinated, and continuing our prevention efforts can help us turn the corner on the pandemic as early as July and set us forward on a path toward a more normal lifestyle.”
