News of Sen. Warren’s diagnosis comes amid renewed concern regarding COVID-19 and its new, more transmissible Omicron variant. The variant was first reported by researches in South Africa in November. The first U.S. case was discovered in early December. Now, the World Health Organization believes that U.S. cases of Omicron are doubling every one-and-a-half to three days, with experts projecting it will become the dominant strain of COVID-19 during the next few weeks.
President Joe Biden is expected to address the nation on Tuesday with a speech focusing on the threat of the Omicron variant. “We are going to see a significant stress in some regions of the country on the hospital system, particularly in those areas where you have a low level of vaccination,” chief medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci warned in an appearance on Sunday’s edition of CNN’s “State of the Union.” “[That’s] one of the reasons why we continue to stress the importance of getting those unvaccinated people vaccinated.
