Summary
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized Pfizer’s antiviral pill to treat Covid-19 as cases across the country continue to rise because of the Omicron variant. Both Washington, DC and New York state set a daily record for new coronavirus cases. Michael Osterholm is the director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota. He tells AC360 the number of cases right now is “really unprecedented in any respiratory pathogen” he has ever seen and warns “we may have more people hospitalized than we ever did with Delta.”
Plus, the jury in the trial of the former police officer Kim Potter ended its third day of deliberations without a verdict. Criminal defense attorney Sara Azari joins AC360 to discuss what could be holding up the jury.
