Summary
It should have been our summer of joy but the pandemic rages on, surpassing a grave new milestone this month: more than 200 million global COVID cases. On this special bonus episode of Next Question with Katie Couric, Katie has a conversation with Dr. Anthony Fauci, chief medical officer to the president, about how we can push to the end of this collective nightmare. There’s a lot to catch up on: breakthrough COVID cases, vaccine mandates, booster shots, when and where you should be masking up, and the possibility of a variant worse than Delta (and what we can do about it). Katie and Dr. Fauci cover it all and get to all of your most pressing questions.
