Biden says he can't give a date when COVID-19 crisis will end

Visiting a Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine manufacturing site Friday, Biden saw firsthand the efforts to ramp up manufacturing but also acknowledged he can't predict exactly when life will return to normal.

"I can't give you a date when this crisis will end, but I can tell you we're doing everything possible to have that day come sooner rather than later," Biden said at Pfizer's Kalamazoo, Michigan, site.

The site is a critical hub for manufacturing the vaccine, the White House said, and the trip was designed to highlight Biden's efforts to increase manufacturing capacity and maximize distribution efficiency.
