Sunday PM: Week in Video
As Americans mourn half a million Covid dead, vaccines show promise. CPAC lets GOP get its crazy out.
America reached the terrible milestone of 500,000 deaths to Covid-19 this week. But, after mourning that fact in a ceremony earlier in the week, Biden also noted his Administration will easily exceed the promise of 100 million vaccines over arms in his first hundred days. Fifty million had been administered as of this week, and the addition into the mix of the newly-approved Johnson & Johnson single shot (video below) will only accelerate the rollout. Huge declines in nursing home deaths and infections indicate the vaccines are already making a difference, but the emergence of unpredictable new variant strains are keeping the White House on their toes.
As for the $1.9 trillion Covid relief package known as the American Rescue Plan, it passed the House of Representatives late in the week.
Meanwhile, Republicans are in Orlando paying homage to the Orange God-King at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). The videos below tell you more than I ever could about the state of the Republican Party.
To finish on a brighter note, enjoy!
