U.S. COVID-19 Death Toll Reaches 400,000, Daily New Hospitalizations Dip Slightly

Summary from the AllSides News Team

On Tuesday, the United States reported 400,000 deaths from COVID-19 since the pandemic began, while new daily hospitalizations from the virus dipped slightly to 174,589, according to John Hopkins University. The numbers come as President Joe Biden issues a mask mandate for federal properties as one of his first presidential actions. The U.S. vaccine rollout has met several delays, partially due to a lack of qualified people to administer the vaccine; Amazon also reportedly offered to help the government administer vaccines. The story was covered by political outlets across the spectrum; outlets on all sides provided analysis regarding the vaccine distribution rollout and on whether Biden's plans to tackle the pandemic would work.
