Grim prediction at candid briefing

WASHINGTON: United States President Joe Biden has launched levelwithAmerica health briefings with a projection that as many as 90,000 more in the US will die from Covid19 in the next four weeks — a sobering warning as the Government strains to improve delivery and injection of vaccines.

The tone of the hourlong briefing yesterday follows Biden’s promise to be straight with the nation about the state of the outbreak that has already claimed more than 425,000 US lives. — AP
