Fears about the Delta variant have sparked a surge in vaccination rates. Yet millions, especially in conservative areas, remain skeptical about the vaccines.
WASHINGTON - With the United States recording its highest daily COVID caseload in six months, a top public health official warned Sunday that the country is "failing."
But children under 12 are not yet eligible for the vaccines, and Collins said the number of children hospitalized with Covid has hit an all-time high of 1,450. US Education Secretary Miguel Cardona on Sunday seconded that advice. "Let our education leaders lead," he said on CBS's "Face the Nation." "Our children's hospitals are completely overwhelmed," Aileen Marty, an infectious disease expert at Florida International University, told CNN. "Our pediatricians, the nurses, the staff, are exhausted, and the children are suffering. And it is absolutely devastating."
