Biden declares ‘no federal solution’ to unrelenting waves of COVID-19
(Worthy News) – President Biden on Monday delivered a cryptic warning to the nation’s governors when he said there is “no federal solution” to the COVID-19 outbreaks and called on the states to do more.

The decision also was driven by a recent surge in COVID-19 cases, propelled by the omicron variant. [ Source (Read More…) ]
