now, where president biden, over and over again, has done the things that it takes for us to be able to get out of this. but the american people, that 40% who are stuck not vaccinated, simply have to get the vaccine. and we have got to figure out who the right mess i thinkers are. maybe it is the president and i don t know who else, to make sure that those americans get vaccinated. dr. redlener, i want to ask you about the plan but i want to understand your assessment of where we are right now. i have got sort of this snapshot but i am not sure what kind of picture it paints, cases are pretty flat. we are about 96,000 new cases a day, which is much higher than who dr. fauci said was a sustainable level for the country. hospitalizes are up 16%. it may be known as our preomicron baseline if we head in that direction. testing is up.
