It's possible that Biden is signaling there's a fair probability that some form of COVID threat will be with us for a good long time, even as we adapt to it.
U.S. appoints new global coronavirus coordinator as Biden steps up efforts to combat pandemic
The United States said Monday it was stepping up efforts to combat covid-19 worldwide, appointing a veteran diplomat to run the Biden administration’s global coronavirus response and pledging to support the more equitable production and distribution of vaccines.
“This pandemic won’t end at home until it ends worldwide,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in remarks Monday announcing the appointment of Gayle Smith, former director of the U.S. Agency for International Development, as global covid-19 coordinator.
He said the United States will “work with global partners on manufacturing and supplies to ensure there will be enough vaccine for everyone, everywhere.”
“We have a duty to other countries to get the virus under control here in the United States,” Blinken said. “But soon, the United States will need to step up our work and rise to the occasion worldwide.”
