US Still In Life And Death Race Against Coronavirus, Says Joe Biden

Joe Biden has now set the goal of getting 200 million vaccines to his fellow countrymen in the first 100 days of his administration.

The United States is still in a "life-and-death race" against coronavirus, President Joe Biden said as his administration raced through a record 150 million vaccine shots in just 75 days. The new record is against his initial target of 100 million shots in 100 days. Biden has now set the goal of getting 200 million vaccines to his fellow countrymen in the first 100 days of his administration. "But let me be deadly earnest with you: We aren't at the finish line. We still have a lot of work to do. We're still in a life-and-death race against this virus. Until we get more people vaccinated, we need everyone to wash their hands, socially distance, and mask up in a recommended mask from the CDC," Biden said at a vaccination site in a Virginia sub urb of Washington DC. "Think about it this way: Better times are ahead. And, as I've said before, we can have a safe, happy fourth of July with your family and friends, in small groups in your backyard. The real question is: How much death, disease, and misery are we going to see between now and then?" he asked.
