CDC chief warns U.S. headed for 'impending doom' as Covid cases rise again: 'Right now I'm scared' (cnbc.com)
- The U.S. is facing “impending doom” as daily Covid-19 cases begin to rebound once again, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said during a press briefing.
- The U.S. is recording a weekly average of 63,239 new Covid-19 cases per day, a 16% increase compared with a week ago, according to an analysis of data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
- When cases rise as they have over the last week or so, Walensky said they often “surge and surge big” shortly thereafter.
