Matt, who has asked to be referred to by his given name for privacy reasons related to his health situation, says he’d feel less anxious overall if he could receive a COVID-19 vaccination, but doubts the opportunity will come within the next few months.

Biden aims to make the economic case for fighting climate change on second day of virtual summit
President Joe Biden on Friday aims to highlight the economic opportunities of climate action a day after announcing an ambitious new goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at his Leaders Summit on Climate from the White House.
On Thursday, the President committed the US to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 50% to 52% below its 2005 emissions levels by 2030. While the goals are a part of the Paris climate agreement that Biden rejoined upon taking office, they are non-binding and the administration has not rolled out a plan on how the US will meet them.
