In his State of the Union address, President Biden sought to reassure Americans his efforts to curb the pandemic have enabled them to resume “more normal routines,” while taking pains to avoid last summer’s premature victory lap before the delta variant.
President Biden sought to reassure Americans in his State of the Union address on Tuesday that his efforts to curb the pandemic had made them safer
Administration officials say they will unveil details of their new approach on Wednesday, releasing a pandemic road map focused on four goals: protecting against and treating covid, including a “test to treat” initiative that would give people antiviral pills on the spot if they test positive at a pharmacy; preparing for a potentially dangerous new variant; preventing economic and educational shutdowns and expanding vaccinations worldwide — all elements Biden previewed on Tuesday night.
That’s a sharp decline from the summer before the arrival of the delta variant, when about 6 in 10 said they approved of the job he was doing. Every Post-ABC poll since has seen erosion of that support.While there are numerous signs the country is in a far better place, most Americans do not seem to be giving Biden credit for the improvements. “Presidents always get blamed for lots of things beyond their control, and the pandemic is a very good example of that,” Levitt said.
The outside experts also met with federal health officials to game out the implications of another new variant — and strategies to prevent it from overwhelming the country the way omicron did.
