COVID Cases Down In All 50 US States

President Joe Biden announced that for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic began in the United States, positive cases are down in all 50 states.

Speaking at a news conference on his administration’s COVID-19 Response and the Vaccination Program, Biden said he can’t promise that things will continue this way, and warned that states with low vaccination rates may see this progress reversed.

“Those who are not vaccinated will end up paying the price. The vaccinated will continue to be protected against severe illnesses,” he added.

Citing vital national Covid statistics, the President said, “Every day, the light at the end of that tunnel is growing brighter.”

“In less than four months, we’ve gone from less than 6 percent to 60 percent of adults in America with at least one shot. We’re seeing the results in people’s lives and in their livelihoods.”

COVID-related deaths are down by 81 percent and at their lowest levels since April 2020.
