Former health advisers to President Biden say the US strategy for the Covid-19 pandemic needs to be updated to face a 'new normal' of living with the virus
Former health advisers to President Joe Biden say the US strategy for the Covid-19 pandemic needs to be updated to face a"new normal" of living with the virus, rather than aiming to eliminate it.
In three pieces published in the Journal of the American Medical Association on Thursday, six former Biden advisers proposed a new plan and detailed strategies for testing, mitigation, vaccines and treatments. "Without a strategic plan for the 'new normal' with endemic COVID-19, more people in the US will unnecessarily experience morbidity and mortality, health inequities will widen, and trillions will be lost from the US economy," wrote Dr.
Some estimates suggest that 90% or more of people in the US need some immunity to SARS-CoV-2 to minimize the effects of Covid-19 and return to normalcy, they write. Currently, about 62.3% of the total US population -- about 207 million people -- is fully vaccinated. Mandates will be required, they say, adding that"few countries have ever achieved such levels of coverage of any vaccine without vaccination requirements.
