More than 100 million Americans are now vaccinated. A new record was set on Friday with more than 4 million people vaccinated in a single day. This weekend in New York, the theaters were able to raise their curtains for the first time in months in front of a limited number of spectators and vaccinated. California, for its part, announces the resumption of indoor sports competitions for mid-April.
But Dr. Fauci, who heads the Institute of Infectious Diseases, warns: The pandemic is far from being curbed. « Vaccination is going very well, but one of the things that worries us is that in a few states there is a danger of another significant peak in the epidemic. We’re not out of the woods yet so don’t declare victory prematurely, because we’re not there yet He said.
