Biden faces winter COVID surge as funds, public interest dry up

“As a country we have a choice to make,” said Biden, urging people to get updated boosters. Biden himself declared last month the pandemic was “over,” and virtually never wears a mask, even among crowds of his supporters. Biden again on Tuesday urged Congress to “step up with much needed COVID funding.”“Help us stay ahead of the virus,” he said. It’s too soon to say whether pharmacies and others have bought enough tests for winter, the official said. But it’s unclear if those initiatives will be enough with dwindling vaccines and Paxlovid as the entire U.S. defense.

Not about to give up on MNF? Then try this play

🔊 Listen to thisMy run of whiffing on the Monday Night Football game continued last week, in excruciating fashion. So, maybe the solution is to get away from just betting against the game spread, and look for advantages elsewhere. It’s not such a stretch to think the Patriots will come out fast, and the Bears won’t be able to keep up right away. Stylistically, they’re both teams that play strong defense and limit scoring. Liberty and Miami to open the year, and Southern Miss actually beat Tulane a few weeks ago in New Orleans.
