We have enough vaccine for everyone to get vaccinated.Īnd thanks to the American Rescue Plan and the hard work of the American people, we’ve administered over 325 million vaccination doses in the past six months. We’ve spent the last six months preparing for this possibility. So, there’s a challenge, as we knew there could be. So, you have to ask yourself: Why is that? Because 164 million Americans are fully vaccinated, including 80 percent of those most vulnerable - our seniors. But while cases are on the rise, they’re not - we’re not likely to see, according to experts, a comparable rise in hospitalizations or deaths in most areas of the country. Our experts tell me that cases will go up furtherīefore they start to come back down. It’s highly transmissible, and it’s causing a new wave of cases in those who are not vaccinated. This is a much different variant than the one we dealt with previously. Why? Because of this new form, this new variant called the “Delta variant.” Because there’s a lot of fear and misinformation in the country, and we need to cut through it with facts, with science, with the truth.Īfter months and months of cases going down, we’re seeing a spike in COVID cases. Now, look, I want to talk about what’s really happening - what it means, what it doesn’t mean, and what we need to do this week and the months ahead.įrom the moment I was elected, I said I’d always give it to you straight from the shoulder, and we need some straight talk right now. They don’t need a mask when the majority - the vast majority of people got vaccinated. Maybe the best way to start is: In a significant part of the country, you wouldn’t have to take one of these off, you don’t have to put one on - like in my home state of Delaware, where I lived in New Castle County, where I was yesterday in Pennsylvania - because people got vaccinated. Today, I want to talk with you about COVID-19.

Macaulay Culkin says that he remembers being given some Crayons to color some of it in and make it look “authentic.”Ī reader named Sarah whose aunt and uncle owned the house at the time of filming explained that the filmmakers dug a fake entrance to the back of the house for the movie that you can see above.

Kevin drew his own floor plan when formulating his “Battle Plan.” The Home Alone house sits on Lincoln Avenue in Winnetka, Illinois and was recently on the market:Įric worked out some floor plans after visiting it: He didn’t get any photos of the real kitchen, but you can see it and more rooms here.ĭirector Christopher Columbus talks in the DVD commentary about recreating the second-floor interiors on a sound stage in a high school gymnasium, and a source tells me that they used the nearby New Trier High School, which was vacant at the time.

The Home Alone movie house has always been one of my favorites, so I was excited when a reader named Eric shared photos he took inside the real home in Winnetka, Illinois, with me.
