Despite soaring cases and record-high Covid-19 hospitalizations, the United States is approaching the "threshold" of transitioning to living with the coronavirus as a manageable disease, Anthony Fauci said Tuesday. Those up to date with their vaccines remain well protected against severe outcomes, but vaccine efficacy against infection has fallen. Official data showed there are currently 145,982 Covid hospitalizations, even though a significant percent are thought to be hospitalized "with" the disease rather than because of it. The man said he wanted to kill Fauci, because of what he said was blood on the scientists' hands. Though Omicron causes severe cases at a lower rate than Delta, it is reaching more people because of its extreme infectiousness.
