CDC head chokes up as she reveals latest rise in Covid deaths and cases: ‘Right now I am scared
Dr Rochelle Walensky, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, got choked up during a White House Covid-19 press briefing when discussing the current rise in cases, hospitalisations, and deaths in the United States due to the pandemic.
“I’m going to pause here. I’m going to lose the script, and I’m going to reflect on the recurring feeling I have of impending doom,” she said while holding back tears during the briefing. “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 am scared.”
Coronavirus infections, which have been on the rise over the last week, were continuing to increase. The country was now averaging just under 60,000 new cases per day, which was 10.6 per cent higher from the last seven-day average.
Hospitalisations were also on the rise with the country averaging about 4,800 new patients per day, a 4.2 per cent increase over the seven-day average
