HiTLeR Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 The White House said today, Monday, that US President Joe Biden will direct flags at half-a-million across the country to fly flags on federal buildings during the next five days, on the occasion of the total number of deaths due to the new Corona virus - Covid 19. White House spokeswoman Jane Saki told reporters that Biden will participate, alongside his wife and US Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband, in a moment of silence during a candlelit ceremony at sunset, mourning Americans who lost their lives due to the virus. Saki added that the candle-lighting activities and the speech that the President will deliver on this occasion "will highlight the extent of the loss that this prominent landmark (the death toll) represents for the American people and many families across the country." She indicated that Biden would also talk about "the strength of the American people in facing this need by working together, following public health guidelines and standing in the vaccination queues as soon as they become eligible" for the vaccine. This comes at a time when Johns Hopkins University revealed that the total number of HIV infections in the United States reached 28 million 174 thousand and 133 cases, while the total number of deaths resulting from it reached 500 thousand and 71 cases. For its part, the US National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed that 64 million and 177,474 doses of anti-virus vaccines have been provided in the United States so far. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
