How does this winter plan of president byden's stack up against other country's plans for handling delta surges and omicron and everything else? So i would say that our federal government is being less aggressive than other federal governmentsy so, you know, in the united kingdom, for example, they've instituted new mass mandates. But at a more localized level, i think you are seeing parts of the united states be as aggressive as those european countries.
Thanks to South Africa, the world now has some data on omicron’s severity, transmissibility, and whether or not the vaccines will protect us from it.
Today’s show was produced by Miles Bryan with help from Hady Mawajdeh, edited by Matt Collette, engineered by Efim Shapiro, fact-checked by Laura Bullard and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
