"We’re still averaging, in the last seven days, loss of 370 deaths per day 370 deaths. That’s significantly lower than at the peak of this crisis, but it’s still a real tragedy. We’re approaching a sad milestone: almost 600,000 lost lives because of COVID-19 in America. My heart goes out to all those who have lost a loved one. I know that black hole that seems to consume you, that fills up your chest when you lose someone that’s close to you that you adored. That’s why I continue to say to America: If you’ve not been vaccinated, get vaccinated. Get vaccinated as soon as possible. We have plenty of vaccination, plenty of sites. We have more work to do to beat this virus, and now is not the time to let our guard down. So, please please get vaccinated as soon as possible. We’ve had enough pain. Enough pain."
