Fox News
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky on Monday warned of “impending doom” amid a recent increase in coronavirus cases and related hospitalizations. Walensky appeared to hold back tears as she expressed concerns the U.S. could soon bear witness to a fourth surge even as the county has averaged some 2.7 million vaccinations over the past week.
"Hospitalizations are up and deaths are slowly starting to rise with about 1,000 deaths per day," she said. "Now is one of those times when I have to share the truth and I have to hope and trust you will listen," Walensky continued. "I'm going to reflect on the recurring feeling I have of impending doom. We have so much to look forward to, so much promise and potential of where we are, and so much reason for hope, but right now, I'm scared… please hold on a little while longer."More Related News
