President Joe Biden on Tuesday sought to signal to the nation that it’s time to resume normal social and work life after the pandemic. He said Americans should return to offices after working at home during his first State of the Union Address to Congress in Washington, D.C.
“It’s time for Americans to get back to work and fill our great downtowns again,” he said. “People working from home can feel safe to begin to return to the office.”
Pills to treat Covid-19 will soon be available on-demand at any pharmacy immediately after testing positive, Biden said. Pfizer Inc. is working to ramp up production of its pill, which has been shown to be highly effective at preventing severe disease and death in clinical trials, and is aiming to deliver a million courses of the treatment this month and over two million in April, Biden said.
He also called on Congress to dedicate new funding for Covid-19 initiatives, including efforts to prepare for the arrival of any new variant.
