WASHINGTON — President Biden on Tuesday vowed that the U.S. won’t become complacent in its Covid-19 response, even as he attempted to project optimism about returning to normal life.
Biden devoted a sizable chunk of his first State of the Union address to highlighting the country’s progress on Covid-19, arguing that the virus “need no longer control our lives” and touting new guidance that allows most American communities to eliminate mask restrictions. But the federal government, he said, isn’t letting down its guard.
