Biden to announce 'one-stop-shop' website for covid resources, including vaccines and treatments
https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2022/03/30/biden-covidgov-vaccines-treatments/
President also to get second booster shot on camera, as White House seeks to increase vaccinations against possible virus surge
President Biden on Wednesday afternoon will announce the launch of covid.gov, a website that the White House is billing as a “one-stop-shop” for Americans seeking vaccines, tests, treatments and masks, while urging Congress yet again to pass a stalled funding package to support the nation’s virus response.
Biden also will receive his second booster shot on camera after his remarks, as the White House seeks to encourage more Americans to get maximally protected before a possible virus surge.
The new website — which consolidates efforts launched earlier in the pandemic, such as covidtests.gov and vaccines.gov — also includes information on local virus spread, guidance on travel rules and restrictions, and a new tool to help Americans locate places to receive immediate antiviral treatments if they have covid.
Biden’s speech will also include “an urgent and direct message to Congress to act swiftly to secure funding for our covid response, and emphasize that the progress we have made is at severe risk if they fail to act,” according to a White House official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to preview the remarks.

I've been wanting a single source of guidance to reduce variation and confusion among the American people. The other side can "do their own research" while sensible people get info from COVID.gov
