The United States is about to enter its “darkest weeks” of the coronavirus pandemic yet.
-
The director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, who served on President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 advisory board during the presidential transition, told CNN’s Anderson Cooper that there could be another potential explosion in new cases if mutated, more contagious variants of the virus take hold nationwide.
Cooper asked Osterholm to put the current phase of the public health crisis into baseball terms.
“I’m certainly not a sports expert, but I do know that there are nine innings in a baseball game. What inning is this pandemic in?” Cooper said.
“I still think we’re in the bottom of the third or the top of the fourth,” Osterholm said. “You know, I worry the next six to 14 weeks could be the darkest weeks of the pandemic.”
Trust the experts.

Of course. But this "expert" didn't.
Thank God President Biden got it up to speed in 6 days.
Osterholm didn’t get it, I think he was so partisan it would be impossible.
