- President to announce new effort to help hospitals Thursday
- FDA chief says most Americans are going to be infected
Joe Biden plans to send 1,000 military medical personnel to hospitals and medical facilities, amid a surge in Covid-19 cases largely attributed to the Omicron variant.
The president will announce the effort on Thursday, and the military members will begin arriving in states across the country next week, as a top government official admitted it was likely that most Americans would be infected with the coronavirus.
