President Joe Biden will deliver a speech on Tuesday to announce new Covid measures to fight the rapidly-spreading Omicron variant as cases double in the past 24 hours and health advisers suggest the president should publicly admit that Americans must learn to live with virus.
Press secretary Jen Psaki tweeted that the president's upcoming plan would build off his 'Winter Plan,' which addresses booster shots, lockdowns and mask mandates.
'POTUS will announce new steps the Administration is taking to help communities in need of assistance, while also issuing a stark warning of what the winter will look like for Americans that choose to remain unvaccinated,' Psaki wrote on Saturday.

Omicron is affecting everyone and could not have been predicted. Same results would have resulted under Trump.
WNU you can do better.
You've become a tired, sad caricature of CHUD Armerica.
Go back to the chalet, drink some champagne, and cuss out your butlers.
You might even achieve an erection.
If Omicron "could not have been predicted" how can you say the " same results would have resulted under Trump."?
Obviously you can't do any better!
You are jealous!!
The former president, who lost by 7 million votes and overflows his diapers daily down in Florida and the sad purveyor of this blog have much in common.
They live in sadness and can't please their women. Most CHUDS have this problem.
That's why they're so aggro and confused.
LOL
I always laugh at my critics.
The more angry they get, the more that I cannot help but laugh at what they post.
And here is the fun part.
The US Vice President is now voicing the same concerns that I am.

When are you going to quit lying?
WNU Ed. You are not the only one that laughs at them. The guy that always tells you to go back to the chalet is particularly amusing. Hopefully they get a giggle themselves or maybe they're just a bit nutty.
