With a new aid package stalled on Capitol Hill, pandemic experts said Americans will not be able to count on free vaccines or life-saving treatments.

“Our resources are depleted,” Becerra said. “We’re prepared to execute plan. We need Congress to help.” The warnings came after Congress failed to include another round of COVID-19 funding in the recently passed stop-gap funding bill amid a dispute between Democrats and Republicans over past spending.
Still, a new subvariant of omicron called BA.2 is making up an increasing share of cases and is driving small increases in caseloads in some areas.
