FDA official says this is when the COVID pandemic will get better

[Andy Meek]

• According to the latest coronavirus update, almost 4,000 Americans died from COVID-19 on Thursday.
• Meanwhile, one FDA official thinks there will be a dramatic improvement in the coronavirus pandemic by June as more people begin to receive the vaccine.
• His estimate depends on the US stepping up its coronavirus vaccine distribution, among other things.

It's easy, if you're not careful, to get desensitized to the horror that each day's new coronavirus update brings -- and make no mistake, things are still very, very bad in the US. Imagine, for example, that nine Boeing 747-400s crashed in the US yesterday, and every single person aboard all of them was killed. Not a stretch to also imagine the wall-to-wall news coverage that would ensue, right? And the frantic search for answers. The insistence that an investigation must commence, the shared understanding that this is a national tragedy -- one that must be fixed immediately and never be allowed to happen again.

In a three-class seating layout, this particular kind of jumbo jet can seat 416 people, based on the latest information I've seen. Nine of those jumbo jets crashing and killing everyone aboard would almost equal the number of Americans who were recorded yesterday as dying from the COVID-19 coronavirus. The US recorded almost 4,000 coronavirus deaths on Thursday -- and, even more ominously, the CDC is warning that another 92,000 Americans could die from COVID-19 over the next three weeks or so. So, all that said, is there even any hope on the horizon?
