Summary

Several states across the country are still reporting an uptick in coronavirus cases, which is hindering reopening plans and forcing many schools and colleges to stay closed this fall. However, there have been some breakthroughs in terms of testing and therapeutics. So, is America on the best track to overcome the health crisis? Earlier this week, host Christ Foster spoke with John Hopkins University Professor and FOX News Medical Contributor Dr. Marty Makary to get an update on America's fight against the coronavirus. While Dr. Makary said he was happy to hear that our testing capabilities and therapy options are improving, he explained why he thinks the key to tackling this pandemic comes down human behavior. Essentially, people wearing masks and avoiding indoor crowds. The conversation was long and covered a lot of topics related the pandemic and some other health issues not related to the pandemic. Our original segment only included a positron of the interviews. On the Fox News Rundown you will hear more from FOX News' Dr. Makary and his take on the politicization of the virus and what he thinks it will take for America to get this crisis behind us.
