“If this new variant has a similar type of trajectory as the Delta variant did, then we’ll see some slowing but it should not be as much as what we’ve seen during Delta,” Bostic stated throughout an interview with Fox News.
“We have a lot of momentum in the economy right now … and that momentum I’m hopeful will be able to carry us through this next wave, however it turns out.”
