Storms devastate a nation on the brink after a year of lockdown -- and it's nowhere near over
CNN
There is no fine time for a devastating barrage of winter storms, but it's hard to imagine the weather icing over much of the United States coming at a less opportune moment.
The country is not only in a pandemic that shut down all manner of activity and left tens of millions of Americans unemployed, but it's also in the early stages of a Covid-19 vaccination campaign that has provided the first hope in a year that the nation is nearing normalcy. Days of snow, ice and freezing rain are further kinking up a vaccine rollout that has been far from flawless, depriving doses from seniors and essential workers on deadline for their second doses. From Texas to New York, officials are weighing the weather system's impact, and even states such as Colorado and Florida that escaped the worst of winter's wrath are experiencing shipment delays as a result of the storms.More Related News
