Experts Warn White House of Possible Future Outbreaks Despite Funding Setbacks

Experts warn White House of a 20-40% chance of a new Covid-19 outbreak in the next two years.
The risk is due to the potential for the virus to develop mutations that evade vaccine and treatment protections.
The White House received the analysis from a report among Biden administration leaders this spring.
Several initiatives intended to provide longer-term pandemic protections are at risk as Republicans seek to claw back unspent coronavirus funds.
The virus remains on pace to be one of the top 10 causes of death this year, with fatalities concentrated among older and immunocompromised individuals.
