I\u2019m not going to shut down the country. I\u2019m going to shut down the virus.\u201d&nbsp;He added, \u201cPresident Trump claims he found a cure. Well, let me tell you: yet we have 1000 people dying each day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Between Biden\u2019s inauguration and February 6, the lowest number of deaths in one day across the nation was 1,876 on February 1. The highest number was 5,189 on February 4, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/covid.cdc.gov\/covid-data-tracker\/#trends_dailytrendscases\">Centers for Disease Control<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Despite his October predictions, this week Biden told CBS News that it would be \u201cvery difficult\u201d to reach herd immunity \u201cmuch before the end of the summer.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/biden-team-fears-no-covid-19-herd-immunity-until-thanksgiving\">The Daily Beast<\/a> wrote, \u201cOther top officials working on the federal government\u2019s COVID-19 response say they are uneasy about vaccine supply long term and the impact on herd immunity, and have begun to explore ways to expand U.S. manufacturing capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/wp-admin\/post.php?post=187913&amp;action=edit\">some studies<\/a> have shown the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines combat the variant versions of the coronavirus successfully, officials are still worried about variant forms of the virus. \u201cOfficials have spent the last several days discussing ways to ramp up genome sequencing to track variants and how to push out the message that Americans need to more closely follow public health guidelines to reduce transmission as B117 variant cases begin to increase,\u201d The Daily Beast reported.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Anthony Fauci has said he is \u201ccautiously optimistic\u201d herd immunity can be reached by fall 2021.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI still think that is possible,\u201d he said. \u201cAs I\u2019ve said before, once we get into mass vaccination when the general public starts getting it by the end of the spring \u2014 April, May, June \u2026and we get past any vaccine hesitancy, then we should be able to reach that 70 or 75 percent mark. We\u2019re going in the right direction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fauci added that the B117 variant \u201ccould become dominant by the end of March. \u2026 That\u2019s the sobering news. The two things that we can do is, A, make sure we adhere to the public health measures \u2026 and, B, get as many people vaccinated as quickly as we possibly can.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Dr. Rochelle Walensky of the Centers for Disease Control, 699 variant cases have been confirmed in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Tom Frieden, former director of the CDC, added, \u201cThe more transmissible those strains of viruses, the higher threshold you need for herd immunity. The B117 variant \u2026 is very concerning. The good news is that even with B117 as a dominant variant in the UK and elsewhere \u2026 cases plummeted when people stop having contact, when people wore masks, when you have people not sharing indoor air with people not in your household. That is the key. We need to give a viral enemy less chance to speak.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
