Summary

COVID cases are quickly rising. And while there is hope this winter surge will not be as deadly as last year, it still remains to be a disruption to American life. Parents especially are already dealing with the stress of in-home learning, or the fear it is coming. Earlier this week on The FOX News Rundown, Dr. Marc Siegel, professor of medicine at New York University Langone Medical Center, joined host Jessica Rosenthal to discuss Omicron, the threat it poses to children and whether or not schools should be open. The FOX News medical contributor also discusses recent advancements in COVID therapeutics and if he suggested teens also receive boosters when they're made available. Due to time limitations, we could not include all of the interview in our original segment. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear our entire conversation with Dr. Marc Siegel and get more of his take on how America should be responding to the current Omicron surge.
